Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'One number of the "Irishman" has come to my hands: it is published at No. 4 D'Olier Street, and by Fulham; and the editor is Joseph Brennan. This appears to be the true representative of the old "Nation"; but they have not a proper staff of competent writers for it. The "Irishman" professes to preach the doctrines of me, J.M. If I am their prophet and guide, I am like to lead my votaries and catechumens on a cruise to the Southern Ocean...'
