great name in Irish romance) have become Hylands or Whelans. It would be
tedious to go through all the well-known names that immediately occur to
one as thus suffering; suffice it to say, that the O'Heas became Hayses,
the O'Queenahans, Mosses, Mossmans, and Kinahans, the O'Longans Longs, the
O'Naghtens Nortons, the O'Reardons Salmons, the O'Shanahans Foxes, and so
on _ad infinitum_.

[21] It is questionable, however, whether Partholan as a modern Christian
name is not itself an Irishised form of Bartholomew.

The remarkable Series of papers on "The Patriot Parliament."

_From_ THE PALL MALL GAZETTE.

The papers are by far the most valuable of Davis's contribution to Irish
history. Mr Lecky, in his history, has spoken of them with much
admiration, and has adopted many of their conclusions. The account of the
Jacobite Parliament which is given by Lord Macaulay has long been
generally accepted in England, but we believe that any one who will
candidly examine the evidence that is collected by Davis will arrive at
the conclusion that this account is seriously misleading.

To many, however, the most attractive part of this little volume will be
the introduction which is written by Sir Gavan Duffy. It is a brilliant
and powerful indictment of the government of Ireland under the Stuarts. It
is impossible to mistake the accent of sincerity that runs through his
pages, and very few men have written Irish history with such eloquence and
force.

_From_ THE WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.

We have Mr. Lecky's testimony that Davis's account of what he calls the
Patriot Parliament is "the best and fullest" he is acquainted with. He has
made it clear that Macaulay's condemnation of the Parliament was over
coloured.
