“The new edition of the admired song ‘The Wearin’ o’ the Green,’ just published by Dodworth, at No.6 Astor Place, is illustrated with a frontispiece which is really a work of merit seldom surpassed in the lithographic art. It is a full-length portrait of Mr. Glenny as Shaun in ‘Arrah-na-Pogue,’ with an appropriate background of Irish landscape.”
