About this Item

Thomas Nicolas Burke (1830-1883), a Dominican priest, was noted as a "great patriot" and speaker. He toured America in 1872 to refute the anti-Irish sentiments of the English historian Anthony Froude. Burke is referenced by James Joyce in "Dubliners" for his speaking ability. This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition. Despite his popularity, the book is scarce today. Marbled paper-covered boards with brown leather spine and tips. Four raised bands on the spine with gilt ruling and lettering. Clean text; 324 pages; all page ends marbled. Frontis portrait. "With an Appendix, Containing a Review of the So-called 'Bull' of Adrian IV, by the Most Rev. P.H. Moran, Bishop of Ossory; and 'An Analysis of the Rebellion of 1641,' by Mathew Carey." Issued as part of the "Irish American Library." There is a contemporary (1887) signature on the FFEP. A Very Good copy, but ex-libris, with the usual treatments that detract from its attractiveness: college library label on the front paste-down, stamp on the Title Page, penciled call numbers, pocket on the rear paste-down, Dewey number on the otherwise nice spine. Generally rubbed at the margins. Size: 12mo - over 6�" - 7�" tall. Seller Inventory # 004398
