WE present to public attention, in book form, the Letters, Discourses, Responses and Controversial Ser mons of that eminent Divine and Scholar, the rev. D. W. Cahill, whose eloquent and manly voice and pen, have, like the bursting thunderbolt, cast dis may and confusion among the ranks of his country's Oppressors and persecutors - When pestilence, plagues and famine, and an unfeeling and tyrannical Govern ruent and its subservient agents, had swept Ireland of millions of its bravest sons and daughters, and le velled their humble habitations to the earth - when annihilation would seem inevitable - then in Ireland's supposed weakness, degradation and humility, her heartless despoilers would feign re -enact and legalize a new edition of the desecrated Penal Laws, which have crimsoned Ireland's verdant soil with blood.
