London / Melbourne / Toronto: J.M. Dent & Sons, Ltd.. Minor signs of wear to dustjacket, otherwise excellent condition.. London / Melbourne / Toronto, J.M. Dent & Sons, Ltd., 1982. 11.5 x 18.5cm. (12), 337 pages. Original hardcover with dustjacket in protective Mylar. Minor signs of wear to dustjacket, otherwise excellent condition. [Everyman's Library]. The post of R.M. (Resident Magistrate) exists no longer in Ireland, but these stories guarantee the office as near permanent existence as any holder could reasonably have hoped - these are some of the best humorous pieces ever written. "Gales of laughter", as Miss Somerville herself asserted, "wafted Major Yeates and his experiences around the world" on publication. [From jacket notes] Somerville and Ross were two women. But so symbiotic and consummate, as well as mysterious and inexplicable, was their writing partnership that they’re fully regarded as one. The Somerville was Edith Somerville; the Ross was Violet Martin (of Ross in Connemara, hence the name), cousins who, until Ross’s death, in 1915, published several novels. The sparkling series about an Irish RM gives, above all, wonderful renderings of the then Irish vernacular. [The Irish Times]

MP3 Audio CD. Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. I GREAT-UNCLE McCARTHY A Resident Magistracy in Ireland is not an easy thing to come by nowadays; neither is it a very attractive job; yet on the evening when I first propounded the idea to the young lady who had recently consented to become Mrs. Sinclair Yeates, it seemed glittering with possibilities. There was, on that occasion, a sunset, and a string band playing "The Gondoliers," and there was also an ingenuous belief in the omnipotence of a godfather of Philippa's--(Philippa was the young lady)--who had once been a member of the Government. I was then climbing the steep ascent of the Captains towards my Majority. I have no fault to find with Philippa's godfather; he did all and more than even Philippa had expected; nevertheless, I had attained to the dignity of mud major, and had spent a good deal on postage stamps, and on railway fares to interview people of influence, before I found myself in the hotel at Skebawn, opening long…

Description:
MP3 Audio CD. Written by two female Irish writers, Edith Sommerville and Violet Florence Martin, Some Experiences of an Irish R.M. is an extremely droll and interesting depiction of late 19th century Ireland. Filled with humorous remarks and situations, the book offers a pleasant pastime even to those reading it today, more than a century later. An overall fun and agreeable book, this set of stories is the first of a collection of three books written by the same authors ? Further Experiences of an Irish R.M. and In Mr. Knox?s Country ? the stage being set well before the Republic of Ireland became separate from Great Britain. We are presented with the story of Major Sinclair Yates, an ex-British Officer recently appointed Resident Magistrate (R.M.) and stationed in his new post in Ireland. Rather used to playing golf and hunting foxes than solving cases, the magistrate had taken up a comfortable post in West Cork, as a result of some able strings pulled by his fiancée, Philippa. This is considered…
