"One of the very best stories of the Colonial period yet
written,"--_Philadelphia Bulletin._

"We have here a thorough-going romance of American life in the
first days of the eighteenth century. It is a story written
for the story's sake, and right well written, too. Indians,
Dutch, Frenchmen, Puritans, all play a part. The scenes are
vivid, the incidents novel and many."--_The Independent._

"The writing is cleverly done, and the old-fashioned atmosphere
of old Knickerbocker days is reproduced with such a touch
of verity as to seem an actual chronicle recorded by one who
lived in those days."--_Saturday Evening Post_, Philadelphia.

"The supreme test of a long book is the reading of it, and
when one reaches the end of _Free to Serve_, he acknowledges
freely that it is the best book that he has taken up for a
long time,"--_Boston Herald._

Mr. McCarthy has written several successful novels; but none, perhaps,
will have greater interest for his American readers than this volume,
in which he writes reminiscently of the Ireland of his youth and
the stirring events which marked that period. It is pre-eminently
an old-fashioned novel, befitting the times which it describes,
and written with the delicate touch of sentiment characteristic of
Mr. McCarthy's fiction. The book takes its name from the heroine,
a charming type of the gentle-born Irish-woman. In the development of
the romance, the attempts for Ireland's freedom, and the dire failures
that culminated at Ballingary, are told in a manner which give an
intimate insight into the history of the _Young Ireland_ movement. If
the book cannot be considered autobiographical, the reader will not
forget that the author was contemporary with the events described, and
will have little difficulty in perceiving that many of the principal
characters are strongly suggestive of the Irish leaders of that day,
