SAMUEL (1797-1868).-Song-writer and novelist, was a painter of portraits, chiefly miniatures.

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_.
