Duffy : Irish Songs and Ballads
'[Balzac's] short works although not new are exquisite - La Recherche de L'Absolu- Eugenie Grandet- Modeste Mignon- The last good cheap English books that I remember were the holy verses by Dr. Kitto, & Duffy's Irish Songs & Ballads- For my own part I have been reading 21 volumes of Mirabeau & about as long of Memoires of that great statesman... What a story- & what a man! If you never read Lucas Montigny's Memoires from Mirabeau sa famille & ses ecrits. Do I conjure you. It is the most graphic book in that language of graphic memoires...Macaulay's book is very able- but one wished to find a greater sympathy especially with misfortune - He really likes nobody except that odious Dutchman.'

[Duffy] : Nation
'I have seen extracts from the new "Nation". Mr Duffy can hardly find words for his disgust, his contempt, "his utter loathing" of those who will say now that Ireland can win her rights by force. I thought so. The "Times" praises the new "Nation", and calls its first article "a symptom of returning sense in Ireland".'
