Hence the Munster peasant of Griffin, and the northern cottier of Carleton, are as di¿er ent from each other, and from the Leinster wag sketched by Lover, and the rollicking Connaught soldier of Charles Lever, as if they did not belong to the same age and nation, yet all are drawn true to nature, and, locally, with the great est fidelity.
