"RETURN OF BLOOM
Mr Bloom, breathless, caught in a whirl of wild newsboys near the offices of the Irish Catholic and Dublin Penny Journal, called:
- Mr Crawford! A moment!" (U6.962)
[*Ed. Three Irish 'Penny' periodicals were published in the 19c. The Dublin Penny Journal (1832 - 36) was short-lived but its circulation reached a remarkable 50,000 copies. It was followed in 1840 by The Irish Penny Journal, and in 1841 by The Irish Penny Magazine.]

The Penny journals catered to the revival of interest in the Gaelic-speaking past and its literature, and in a specifically Irish culture and identity (poetry, short stories, novels, music). The writing was of a high quality, including some of Mangan's best-known poems and translations. All three journals had large wood engravings by professional illustrators.
"- Telegraph! Racing special!
- What is it? Myles Crawford said, falling back a pace.
A newsboy cried in Mr Bloom's face:" (U7.966)

"INTERVIEW WITH THE EDITOR
— Just this ad, Mr Bloom said, pushing through towards the steps, puffing, and taking the cutting from his pocket. I spoke with Mr Keyes just now. He'll give a renewal for two months, he says. After he'll see. But he wants a par to call attention in the Telegraph too, the Saturday pink. And he wants it copied if it's not too late I told councillor Nannetti from the Kilkenny People. I can have access to it in the national library. House of keys, don't you see? His name is Keyes. It's a play on the name. " (U7.970)

"But he practically promised he'd give the renewal. But he wants just a little puff. What will I tell him, Mr Crawford?
K. M. A.
— Will you tell him he can kiss my arse? Myles Crawford said throwing out his arm for emphasis. Tell him that straight from the stable.
A bit nervy. Look out for squalls. All off for a drink. Arm in arm. Lenehan's yachting cap on the cadge beyond." ([U7.977])

"Wonder is that young Dedalus the moving spirit. Has a good pair of boots on him today. Last time I saw him he had his heels on view. Been walking in muck somewhere. Careless chap. What was he doing in Irishtown?
—Well, Mr Bloom said, his eyes returning, if I can get the design I suppose it's worth a short par. He'd give the ad, I think. I'll tell him..." (U7.984)

— He can kiss my royal Irish arse, Myles Crawford cried loudly over his shoulder. Any time he likes, tell him.
While Mr Bloom stood weighing the point and about to smile he strode on jerkily." (U7.990)

"RAISING THE WIND
- Nulla bona, Jack, he said, raising his hand to his chin. I'm up to here. I've been through the hoop myself. I was looking for a fellow to back a bill for me no later than last week." (U7.995)

"Sorry, Jack. You must take the will for the deed. With a heart and a half if I could raise the wind anyhow." (U7.998)
"J.J. O'Molloy pulled a long face and walked on silently. They caught up on the others and walked abreast." (U7.1000)
"-When they have eaten the brawn and the bread and wiped their twenty fingers in the paper the bread was wrapped in, they go nearer to the railings." (U7.1002)
From a Dublin guide (1895): "No stranger should fail to ascend Nelson's Pillar, as from its summit, which is securely railed through, a map-like view of the surrounding city and delightful panorama of the neighbouring country may be obtained. To the north, in clear weather, the Carlingford and Mourne mountains, in the county of Down, are distinctly visible; to the east is Dublin Bay; to the south, Killiney and the Wicklow mountains, extending far into the distance; and to the west are the Dublin hills, with their beautiful wooded bases stretching towards the rich plains of Meath and Kildare."
