Some Irish Heroes of The Mass.
Author: FATHER AUGUSTINE (Illustrated by Jack. P. Hanlon).
Dublin: Fallon, 1945. 73 pages. Illustrated. Hardback.
The title of this book suggests its content, which deals with the splendid fight made by Irish Catholics for the Mass from the death of Henry VIII to the martyrdom of Blessed Oliver Plunket. The narrative teems with incident, throbs with life and bears us along on a swift-flowing tide of graphic prose. In flash-light glimpses the author shows how the heroes, men and women, priests and bishops, defying unjust laws, clung with deathless grasp to the one Great Grand Thing of which the ruthless enemy wished to rob them.
