DEKMOT O'BRIEN; 

 OR, THE TAKING OF TEEDAGH. 



^ ®al? li tf)i f^tafjs of tf)$ Puritans. 



BY H. W. HERBERT, ESQ., 



Author of " Field Sports of the United States." " Frank Forester and his Friends," " The Roman 

 Traitor," • Cromwell," 4ic., &c. 



Price 50 cents. 



The author of this book has ah-eady gained a high position by the ready 

 efforts of his pen, not only in fiction, but in illustrating the science of which he 

 has been so devoted a follower — The Science of the Sportsman. His last book, 

 " Field Sports," our readers may remember, as having drawn forth the warmest 

 eulogiums from the press for its talent, taste, and scientific knowledge of the 

 subject. 



Mr. Herbert is a clear and pleasing writer. The habits of his life have made 

 him a narrow observer of men and things, and this is evidenced in all his works 

 by the finish as well as truth of his delineations of character. The same training 

 too has made him, we think, almost unrivalled as a landscape writer, if we may 

 use the phrase, and his books literally teem, almost to tiresomeness, with splendid 

 descriptions of rural scenery in every phase. 



It has been often said, that a devotion to the sports of the field tends more 

 than any other training to refine the mind, and wear away the prejudices of early 

 education. The book before us is a strange evidence of this. Mr. Herbert is a 

 Protestant. Yet, strange to say, he has written a book upon the subject of the 

 Croinwellian invasion, which, to an Irish and a Catholic reader, presents few ble- 

 mishes, and those which would pass almost unnoticed by the general reader. The 

 story itself is an interesting one — the scene laid in Ireland during the troublous 

 times of the Usurper Cromwell. The characters are well drawn, and the book is 

 one which will richly repay perusal.
