A review of the day, from _The Catholic World: Monthly Magazine of General Literature And Science_ VOL. XLIII. APRIL, 1886, TO SEPTEMBER, 1886.: "A CHAT ABOUT NEW BOOKS", by the Paulist Fathers, New York.
"Hurrish: A Study, by the Hon. Emily Lawless (Harper & Bros.), is an exceedingly disagreeable book. It pretends to be a study of life in North Clare. It is written with some cleverness and it is not without signs of talent, which facts make all the more unpardonable the deliberate attempt of the author to give the impression that the Irish peasant, on his native heath, is a bloodthirsty pagan in principle and a Thug in practice. It is true that Gerald Griffin painted Danny Mann hideously, but he did not create for us a colony of Danny Manns and ask us to believe that they were natural products of Irish soil. If Miss Lawless' view of the rural population of Ireland is largely shared by ladies of her class, it is not strange that the landlord is regarded by his tenants as without sympathy or even common humanity. Hurrish is a libel on Irish life—the more necessary to be denounced that it has an appearance of truth."
