Treasure Trove: The First Of A Series Of Accounts Of Irish Heirs: Being A Romantic Irish Tale Of The Last Century
By Samuel Lover
Published by H.G. Bohn: London 1852 1st Edition

"First published in 1852 by H.G. Bohn, Treasure Trove: The First of a Series of Accounts of Irish Heirs is a romantic historical novel by Samuel Lover, the noted Irish author, artist, and songwriter. Set in 18th-century Ireland, the tale intertwines themes of love, inheritance, and identity against a backdrop of political unrest and social transformation. Lover's narrative captures the charm and tragedy of Irish life, balancing humour and sentiment with a deep appreciation for national character and folklore. The novel reflects the author's enduring interest in the intersection of personal destiny and Ireland's complex cultural history.

As the opening work in Lover's planned series on Irish heirs, Treasure Trove establishes his vision of historical romance infused with local colour and vivid storytelling. Drawing upon oral tradition and his own gift for anecdote, Lover creates spirited characters and dramatic turns that echo both the wit of the Irish countryside and the moral tone of Victorian literature. The novel's subtitle, "A Romantic Irish Tale of the Last Century," situates it firmly in the tradition of Sir Walter Scott's historical fiction, yet with a distinctly Irish sensibility.

This 1852 first edition represents an important contribution to mid-19th-century Irish fiction and the broader Romantic literary movement. It will appeal to collectors of Irish literature, enthusiasts of historical romance, and readers drawn to works reflecting Ireland's social and cultural identity during the post-Union era."
