Excerpt from The Life of William Carleton, Vol. 2: Being His Autobiography and Letters; And an Account of His Life and Writings, From the Point at Which the Autobiography Breaks Off Caesar Otway - A proselytizing group - The Christian Examiner - Carleton writes for it - "The Lough Derg Pilgrim," etc. - Poems by Carleton - The Family Magazine - The National Magazine - Charles Lever - Philip Dixon Hardy - Sir Theodore Martin on "Sir Turlough, or The Churchyard Bride" - First Series of "Traits and Stories" - A curious coincidence. At the stage of his career indicated at the point where his autobiography closes, Carleton returned to Dublin, and was temporarily reduced to almost his earlier condition of poverty, but as he had access to some of the leading personages among the class known as "Evangelicals," then of social importance in Dublin, he soon became acquainted with the Rev. Caesar Otway, who was personally a most estimable man, a very pleasant writer, an enthusiastic antiquarian, but a determined proselytizer. He was one of a very remarkable group of men in Dublin at that period - when Catholic emancipation was in the air - whose lives were devoted to the task which they described as the rescue of Ireland from Popery. Never was the Established Church in Ireland more keenly alive to its interests. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
