In 1868 he published Realities of Irish Life, a book which was an immediate success and which passed through five editions in a year. The Edinburgh Review praised its forcible and impressive description of the Irish peasantry, and likened its popular force, humour, and pathos to that in the early works of Charles Dickens. (ODNB).
