Mr. Dooley In Peace and in War.
Small, Maynard & Company. Boston. 1898. First Edition. Cloth. Gilt lettering front cover and spine. In the Preface F. P. D. writes: "There was a time when Archey Road was purely Irish". (Martin Dooley, doctor of philosophy, lives there.) "In this community you can hear all the various accents of Ireland, from the awkward brogue of the 'far-downer' to the mild and aisy Elizabethan English of the southern Irishman.." "Here also you can see the wakes and christenings, the marriages and funerals, and the other fetes of the ol' counthry somewhat modified and darkened by American usage".
