Author: Thackeray, William Makepeace,
Title: The Irish Sketch Book of 1842 from the Complete Works of William Makepeace Thackeray.
Description: NY, Collier, 1902. G. Drawings by Richard Doyle, Frederick Walker, Charles Green, George du Maurier, R. A. Wallace, and W. M. Thackeray. When it is stated that, throughout the town of Galway, you cannot get a cigar which costs more than twopence, Londoners may imagine the strangeness and remoteness of the place. The rain poured down for two days after our arrival at 'Kilroy's Hotel.' An umbrella under such circumstances is a poor resource: self-contemplation is far more amusing; especially smoking, and a game at cards, if anyone will be so good as to play." Green binding, top edge gilt, cream colored pages, fade to outer edge front cover, edge wear.
