First published in the nineteenth century, these sketches were well known to Joyce and Yeats, both of whom borrowed from them on occasion. Full of unforgettable portraits and anecdotes, the sketches show Barrington to be an adaptable man, an active participant in the public and private life of late eighteenth century Ireland, and a keen observer of its idiosyncracies.
