London: Chapman and Hall, 1850. The works of Irish author Charles Lever (1806-1872) rivaled Dickens and Thackeray for popularity in the 19th Century. Dublin-born, and educated in medicine, he wrote many light-hearted, rather picaresque novels. Roand Cashel is partially based upon his experience as a surgeon on an immigrant ship to Canada.
