NOTTINGHAM DAILY GUARDIAN. 'Well studied in the standard authorities, moderate in its assertions, and above all clear in its definitions and in the disposition of its subject, the treatise should at once take its place among standard works of jurisprudence.'-SCOTSMAN.

"The book leaves the impression of covering the whole field of the peaceful side of International law, by the way in which it maps out the subject under well-defined and broad

principles, and then clothes them with sufficient details to illustrate their practical working. Special commendation is due to the historical sketch of the subject, the treatment of the theory of state succession, and the chapter on Treaties.'-THE LAW MAGAZINE AND REVIEW.

Very Rev. Canon P. A. Sheehan.

Glenanaar: a Story
a Story of Irish
of Irish Life.

By the Very Rev. Canon P. A. SHEEHAN, D.D. Author of
'Luke Delmege' &c. Crown 8vo. 6s.

'A charming story, as good as anything its author has yet written, and likely to be enjoyed by everyone into whose hands it comes.'

SCOTSMAN.

'The most powerful dramatic story Canon SHEEHAN has ever written. . . It is full of moving incident and bold characterisation. Not for a moment does the story lose its grip on the reader. The situations are worked up with wonderful power, and there is not a character in the book that is without an individuality, always distinct, always consistent. "Glenanaar" we should say, is des

tined to be one of the most popular books which Canon SHEEHAN has given us, as it is, in several respects, his best.'-IRISH INDEPENDENT.

""Glenanaar" is likely to vie in popularity with anything that Canon SHEEHAN has yet done. . . . One knows not what most to admire, the tenderness and delicate grace with which a beautiful story of love and devotion is unfolded, the sure, vigorous character drawing, or the descriptive passages in which historical scenes and features of Irish life and customs are touched upon. -CORK EXAMINER.
