yet well written and comprehensive, treating of universal principles in a broad way
and presenting characters in.whom one becomes interested for their own sake.”

‘ Doreen.’ ’—PusLic OPINION, N. Y.

Irish girl, who loves her native land, and who isa credit to herrace. . . . Inter-
woven with the story of her experience and of her love for a young Englishman is an
interesting account of the rise and progress of the Home Rule movement. Miss Lyall’s

Doreen is a beautiful character.”—CATHOLIC NEws.

the heroine, is a charming Irish girl, devoted to her country and her oppressed
countrymen, . . . The story is attractively told and a very impartial view of the
Irish question is taken. . . . Doreen is a most attractive character, refreshingly
simple and natural, and yet with a decided personality of herown. . . . A whole-
some, well-written story, and free from any touch ofatheism.””—CuIcAGo INTER-OCEAN,
