FATHER TOM AND THE POPE
by Sir Samuel Ferguson, keeper of the Irish Records. This charming little book is quite a literary gem, a burning satire, easily surpassing Mr. Dooley. In fact it is almost Rabelaisean in its rollicking hilarious humor.
Why is it, that Ireland produces few if any great writers? The islands positively swarms with screaming politicians, fanatic
the exact meaning of Tom Moore's celebrated lament:
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er.
And hearts that once beat high for praise,
Now feel that pulse no more.
No more kings and ladies bright,
The Harp of Tara swells,
The chords alone that break at night
The tale of Ruin tells.
Father Tom and the pope is not a great book, remember. We do not say it is; but it is a most delightful one. Some rays of the ancient genius of the people scintillate through it. The hero of the tale, Father Tom of Connemara, goes on a visit to the Vatican. He kisses the pope's housekeeper, raises the dander of His Holiness thereby and creates no end of marvellous complications. Illustrated.
- This edition includes Alphonse Daudet's History of the Pope's Mule.
