"George A. Birmingham" is a writer of stories of Irish life. In "The Seething Pot" he gives an intimate picture of the political, social, economic, and artistic movements of modern Ireland, as seen by a conscientious and public-spirited, but, 6adly-puzzled, younj; man, who, after spending his youth in Australia, has to take up the responsibilities of a rural landlord on the ancestral estate.
