Samuel Lover

Samuel Lover

Samuel Lover (February 24, 1797 Dublin – July 6, 1868) was an Irish songwriter, novelist, as well as a painter of portraits, chiefly miniatures. He was the grandfather of Victor Herbert.

Lover 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".
