In fact, "Barry Lyndon" contains several episodes already used in this "Irish Sketch Book", for example, Barry's arrival in Dublin where he is greeted with much fervor and adulation. In his travel journal, Thackeray notes: {{Blockquote|There is candor in the way these brave people regard their ecclesiastics and respect all titles, whether real or spurious [...] Do the Irish have so many reasons to respect their aristocrats that they must chronicle all their movements and not only admire their genuine nobles, but make up others to admire in turn?.<ref>{{cite book|language=en|first1=William Makepeace|last1=Thackeray|title=Letter of August 24, 1841, ''Letters and Private Papers of William Makepeace Thackeray''|location=Cambridge, Massachusetts|publisher=Gordon N.
