...life of this remarkable literary figure has been, in the main, uneventful. Andreyev was born in 1871, and from the time his father died, while he was a student in the city high school, until his graduation from the law department of the Moscow University, at the age of twenty-six, he suffered greatly from the lack of means, discouragement leading him three times to attempt suicide. For some time he supported himself by painting portraits, practicing law, or newspaper reporting, reading insatiably always, until 1898, when he began his literary career.

...Free State and its new constitution are by no means clear of the breakers as yet. There is still a compact, defiant Ulster to be dealt with, outside the provisions of the treaty and still nourishing the memory of age-long warfare with the South. Much depends on the Free State's policies. Radical interpretation of the constitution would cause a complete face-about in England's attitude and might permanently estrange Ulster.
