Souvenirs of Irish Footprints Over EuropeEugene Davis's "Souvenirs", based on the author's tour of the continent in 1885 6, provides not only vivid vignettes of the life and times of Irish scholars, revolutionaries and artists living on the continent, both well known and obscure, from the time of the French revolution down to his own day, but also gives fascinating insight into how his contemporaries perceived the nature of Ireland's relationship with the European continent during the 1880s.
