1872. Part Two of Two. Illustrated. A Military romance from the author of the popular Harry Lorrequer. Part Two begins: The night which followed the battle was a sad one. Through the darkness, and under a fast-falling rain, the hours were spent searching for our wounded comrades amid the heap of slain upon the field; and the glimmering of the lanterns, as they flickered far and near across the wide plain, bespoke the track of the fatigue parties in their mournful round; while the groans of the wounded rose amid the silence with an accent of heartrending anguish; so true was it, as our great commander said, there is nothing more sad than a victory, except a defeat.

1872. Part One of Two. Illustrated. A Military romance from the author of the popular Harry Lorrequer. The book begins: The rain was dashing in torrents against the windowpanes, and the wind sweeping in heavy and fitful gusts along the dreary and deserted streets as a party of three persons sat over their wine, in that stately old pile which once formed the resort of the Irish members, in College Green, Dublin, and went by the name of Daly's Club House. The clatter of falling tiles and chimney-pots-the jarring of the window-frames and howling of the storm without, seemed little to affect the spirits of those within, as they drew closer to a blazing fire, before which stood a small table covered with the remains of a dessert, and an abundant supply of bottles, whose characteristic length of neck indicated the rarest wines of France and Germany; while the portly magnum of claret-the wine par excellence of every Irish gentlemen of the day-passed rapidly from hand to hand, the conversation did not languish, and many a deep and hearty laugh followed the stories which every now and then were told, as some reminiscence of early days was recalled, or some trait of a former companion remembered.

Excerpt from Confessions of Con Cregan: The Irish Gil Blas Was it that I thought well of one story and very meanly of the other, and in consequence was angry at the want of concurrence of my critics? I suspect not. I rather imagine I felt hurt at discovering how little hold I had, in my acknowledged name, on a public with whom I fancied myself on such god terms; and it pained me to see with what little difficulty a new and a nameless man could push for the place I had believed to be my own. "The Daltons" I always wrote, after my habit, in the morning; I never turned to "Con Cregan" until nigh midnight; and I can still remember the widely different feelings with which I addressed myself to the task I liked, and to a story which, in the absurd fashion I have mentioned, was associated with wounded self-love. It is scarcely necessary for me to say that there was no plan whatever in this book. My notion was, that "Con Cregan," once created, would not fail to find adventures. The vicissitudes of daily poverty would beget shifts and contrivances; with these successes would come ambition and daring. Meanwhile a growing knowledge of life would develop his character, and I should soon see whether he would win the silver spoon or spoil the horn. I ask pardon in the most humble manner for presuming for a moment to associate my hero with the great original of Le Sage. But I used the word "Irish" adjectively, and with the same amount of qualification that one employs to a diamond, and indeed, as I have read it in a London paper, to a "Lord."
