This Week's (Very) Belated Acquisitions

(Today is an appropriate time to post them, I suppose.)

• George Alfred Lawrence, Henry Jackson, and John Saunders, Maurice Dering; Sans Merci; Gilbert Rugge; Bound to the Wheel (Harper, 1864-66).  Bound volume of four double-columned US reprints of popular Victorian fiction, mostly of the dering-do/sensational variety.  Lawrence, now the best-remembered (least-forgotten?) of the three, was the author of Guy Livingstone, one of the first "muscular Christian" novels.

• Proinnnsios O Duigneain, The Priest and the Protestant Woman: The Trial of Rev. Thomas Maguire, P. P. (Irish Academic Press, 1997).  Maguire was accused of seducing a young woman; this brief study analyzes the trial and its fallout in the local controversial context.  (Amazon [secondhand])
