Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some of the Poetical Works of Thomas Dillon Jones The poems which it has been possible to collect for publication after so long an interval as forty-three years from the death of the Author are necessarily fragmentary. In his time Thomas Dillon Jones was a prolific writer of both poetry and prose, and contributed to the leading magazines of the day. Several of his songs were set to music by Lindley, and enjoyed considerable popularity, e.g. "Oh! then I´ll think of thee." Thomas Dillon Jones was born at Benada, in the County of Sligo, in 1819. He was descended from an ancient Welsh family through Sir Roger Jones, who was knighted on 6 June, 1624, by Viscount Falkland, and who eventually established himself in Ireland. Sir Roger Jones lived in the Castle of Ballydhrieath, the ruins of which are still extant, and a bridge in the neighbourhood is still known as "Lady Jones´ Bridge." Educated at the Sligo School under Dr. Elliott, he carried off a number of prizes. At that time he was the heir to the Benada estate, and the subsequent birth of a direct heir to his uncle, when the latter was well on in years, made a considerable difference to his prospects.
