Excerpt from Cloudy Weather: A Romance of Fenian Days Miss Henry has wisely placed the facts of the Raid in a romantic setting. This added element of interest affords her the opportunity of bringing out more clearly the character of the men who were the chief actors in the tragic drama, and the hopes and fears that alternately filled their breasts. Such a mode of treatment, moreover, conforms most appropriately with the general history of the Irish struggle for freedom. N o outstanding phase of that long struggle has been devoid of the tender incidents of romance - the romance, not of fiction, but of fact. This volume is a timely contribution to the history of that struggle. It comes from the press at a time when the hopes of Erin are roseate with the dawning light offreedom. To the final achievement of this victory the Fenians in their own way and day, contributed in no small measure. This is the day of their vindication; no longer will their memory be dishonored by derision. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
