Samuel Lover
Samuel Lover (1797‑1868) was an Irish songwriter, novelist, as well as a painter of portraits, chiefly miniatures. He produced a number of Irish songs, of which several — including The Angel's Whisper , Molly Bawn , and The Four-leaved Shamrock — attained great popularity. He also wrote some novels, of which Rory O'More (in its first form a ballad), and Handy Andy are the best known, and short Irish sketches, which, with his songs, he combined into a popular entertainment called Irish Nights . He joined with Dickens in founding Bentley's Magazine .
