313 Lowest Point in the History of The British Monarchy, 1820 A printed volume with title on spine, Queen’s Trial No. 1 to 15, Folio, approx. 483pp, orig. boards, joints cracked. (1) Contains verbatim reports of the first fifteen days (19 August to 7 September 1820) of the reading before the House of Lords of the “Pains and Penalty Bill”. This had been introduced at the behest of King George IV and sought to deprive his estranged wife, Caroline of Brunswick, of the title of Queen and to dissolve their marriage. Witnesses were called who gave accounts of the Queen’s intimate couplings with low-born Italians during her exile. The trial caused enormous public interest; was the subject of a famous painting by Sir George Hayter, some lewd cartoons, and much ribald comment. George (himself no saint) had recently become king and was extremely unpopular; the Queen’s cause was taken up by radical politicians and was championed by the ordinary people. The bill was passed by a narrow majority but the government wisely withdrew it. The Queen’s victory was celebrated with exuberance. However, The King spitefully barred her from attending his coronation the following July, and she died three weeks later. This sensational event marked the lowest point in the history of the British monarchy. As Queen Caroline remarked, “A government cannot stop the march of intellect any more than they can arrest the motion of the tides or the course of the planets.” €180 - 250

Treasurer, numbered 48, dated 4.4.1914, acknowledging receipt from MacDonagh (whose name is given in Irish, Tomás MacDonnchadha) of the sum of £1-5-9d., with a note at foot saying a separate receipt has issued to Éamonn Ó Tuathail for 5/- sub. Presumably the sum received from MacDonagh represented the proceeds of an event or collection. MacDonagh, from Cloughjordan, Co. Tipperary, was a published poet and critic, a UCD graduate and assistant, and formerly a teacher at Pearse’s St Enda’s school. He joined the Irish Volunteers on their formation, and quickly became a most enthusiastic soldier. He joined the IRB in 1915, and became a member of the military council which planned the Rising. He signed the Proclamation, and took his place as Volunteer commander in Jacob’s factory in Bishop Street, leaving behind his young wife and their two small children. He was executed on 3 May 1916. Michael O’Rahilly, a successful businessman, was a founder and Treasurer of the Volunteers, and the main organiser of the Howth Gun-running. He thought the Rising was premature, but took part anyway, reportedly saying ‘I have helped to wind the clock, I may as well hear it strike.’ He died in action, leading a sortie from the GPO on the Friday of Easter week. Original documents linking the prime movers in the 1916 Rising are now very scarce. (1) €500 - 600

At the dictation of our hereditary enemy our rightful cause is being treacherously assailed by recreant Irishmen. The crash of arms and the boom of artillery reverberate in this supreme test of the Nation’s destiny. …….. “Death before Dishonour” being an unchanging principle of our national faith as it was of theirs, still inspires us to emulate their glorious effort. We therefore appeal to all citizens who have withstood unflinchingly the oppression of the enemy during the past six years to rally to the support of the Republic, and recognise that the resistance now being offered is but the continuance of the struggle that was suspended by the truce with the British. We especially appeal to our former comrades of the Irish Republic to return to that allegiance, and thus guard the Nation’s honour

414 Typescript of a 1752 Court Case Regarding Lands in Kerry Co. Kerry: Typescript (22 pp) of a case to be heard by the Irish House of Lords on 4 March 1752 between Francis Thomas, Earl of Kerry and Lixnaw, a minor, and John Petty, Viscount FitzMaurice. Thomas (FitzMaurice), 1st Earl of Kerry and Lixnaw, married in 1692 Anne Petty, daughter of the celebrated Sir William Petty, economist, scientist, philosopher and land surveyor. They had two sons: William, who succeeded his father in 1742, and John, who in 1751 inherited the estates of his maternal grandfather, changed his name to Petty, and was created Viscount FitzMaurice (he became Earl of Shelburne in 1753). William, 2nd Earl of Kerry, died in 1747 and was succeeded by his son Francis Thomas, then a young child. The law-suit is thus between a nephew and an uncle, John (the uncle) claiming money and lands under settlements made by his father the 1st Earl. In 1750 the court upheld his claim, but the nephew (through his guardian) appealed the case to the House of Lords. In this document, John demands that the original judgement be upheld. John’s insistence was caused in part by the fact that under Earl Thomas’s management the Kerry estate had greatly increased in value, with the construction of a mansion, deer park, gardens, fruit and forest plantations, and encouragements to tenants to improve their lands (see p. 13). An important legal document illustrating the complexities of Irish land ownership, the feudings within a prominent family, and the development of a Kerry estate, in the first half of the 18th century.

721 [Moore (George)] An Túr-Ghort. Sgéalta le Seorsa Ó Mórdha; aistrighthe ó’n Sacsbhéarla ag Pádraig Ó Súilleabháin, B.A. Baile-Atha-Cliath, Sealy Bryers & Walker n.d. [1902]. Orig. wrappers, decorated in Celtic style; about an inch of upper cover and first five leaves unevenly torn away, with no loss of text, right-hand upper corner slightly abraded throughout, lacking rear wrapper. (1) Dedicated in English by Moore to his nephews Rory and Ulick Moore, native Irish speakers. ‘They may be called to continue a literary tradition into the fourth generation. In this case, they will be able to do it in Irish, and by writing in Irish they will continue the literary tradition of our country’. An exceptionally rare item, dating from Moore’s return to Dublin and his brief dalliance with Gaelic affairs under the influence of Yeats and Hyde. According to MacMillan Dict. of Irish Lit., this publication precedes the English version The Untilled Field [1903]. The damage is unsightly, but could probably be significantly improved by skilful repairs. €350 - 500

724 Journal of a Wicklow Lady’s Visit to France and Switzerland 1895 Manuscript: M/ss Journal written by Christiana Ellen Edith Nolan in April, May and June (the year is not stated but can be identified from internal evidence as 1895). Quarto, with tipped-in illustrations and botanical samples, 167pp. The author began and ended her journey at Wicklow and proceeded from Kingstown via Boulogne to Paris, whence she continued to Geneva, Lausanne, Chillon, Berne, Lucerne, the Rigi, Zurich, Schaffhausen and Basel. She has a keen eye and describes the people, events and places she encounters with candour and fluency. An attractive and interesting account of the experiences of an Irish lady’s travels on the continent in the era of steam power. (1) €250 - 400

725 Manuscript of a Curious Victorian Tale Anomoymous: “Mokeanna or The White Witness. A Tale of the Times.” Oblong 8vo album, 31 ff + 5 hand drawn illustrations. A short story burlesquing the creepy tales beloved of Victorians, in which an alien invader lands from the sea at Rutland (in reality a landlocked county) steals a farmer’s donkey (the “moke Anna”), kidnaps the wife of the local squire, and is then pursued by a mob of angry peasants who seem more intent on recovering the donkey than rescuing the lady. If Flann O’Brien had written Dracula... “Mokeanna” was the brainchild of the comic writer F.C. Burnand, who wrote the story as a parody of the popular tales published in Reynold’s Miscellany and persuaded five well-known illustrators to provide each of the drawings: John Gilbert of the Illustrated London News, Hablot K. Browne (Dicken’s “Phiz”), Charles Keene, George du Maurier and John Everett Millais. “Mokeanna” was serialised in Punch during February and March 1863 and proved a great hit with the readers. This appears to be a contemporary transcript, neatly written and with the five illustrations meticulously copied. As a manuscript, w.a.f. (1) €300 - 400

726 Work by early 20th Century English Poet who encouraged Dylan Thomas Neuburg (Victor B.) Bound galley proofs of Wild Honey, a book of poems by Victor B. Neuburg, to be published by The Young Cambridge Press, Bedford, in 1907. Ff 1 - 56. Contains the printed text of some 23 poems, with many corrections added in m/ss and some extra verses and introductions, also in m/ss. Most of the poems are revised versions of work that had already been published by the freethinking publisher William Stewart Ross, who had recently died. There seems to be no record that this book was ever published. Victor Benjamin Neuburg (1883 -1940) was a poet of London Jewish origin who also wrote on the subjects of theosophy and occultism. By the time he wrote these verses he had already fallen under the influence of Aleister Crowley, but their relationship was ended some years later by Crowley’s anti-Semitic bullying. In his later years he did much to encourage the work of younger poets, and Dylan Thomas wrote of him: “Vicky encouraged me as no one else had done.. He possessed many kinds of genius, and not the least was his genius for drawing himself, by his wisdom, graveness, a great humour and innocence, a feeling of trust and love that won’t ever be forgotten.” As a m/ss, w.a.f. Rare. (1) €300 - 400

727 Commonplace Book of a 19th Century Cork Priest Manuscript: Commonplace Book of Thomas O’Keeffe. Archdeacon of Cork and Parish Priest of the city’s South Parish from 1829 until his death in 1847.

The most significant item is the draft of a biographical introduction to the poems of Jeremiah Joseph Callanan (1795-1892), the Cork poet best remembered for his translations from the Irish (“The Outlaw of Loch Lene,” “The Convict of Clonmel” etc.) The author’s name is given as “Rev. Patrick O’Riordan PP VG NA. Bishop of Cappadocia and Coadjutor Bishop of Dublin.” There seems to be no record of this work having been published. O’Keeffe was a significant figure in the development of the Catholic Church in 19th Century Cork. He was a popular preacher and known for his public debates in Carey’s Lane Chapel; he was a close friend of the sculptor John Hogan., cont. hf. mor. As a m/ss., w.a.f. (1) €400 - 600

728 Journal of a Lady’s Visit to Florence in 1884, with fine original Illustrations Manuscript: “A Journal of eight weeks in Florence written for Isabella Harding by her loving niece S.I.B. and illustrated by E.A.G. 1884,” M/ss, 75pp in original white vellum binding with protective cloth cover decorated with a fleur de lys. A pencilled note names the writer as Susan Isabella Blackley. Internal evidence identifies the illustrator as Edith Anne Greene (1856 - 1912). The account begins with the author’s arrival in Florence on 7 March 1884 having travelled from Clifton, Bristol; here she joins the sisters Edith, Madeline, Margaretta and Catherine Greene. Over the next weeks the ladies explore Florence and also visit Pistoia, Prato, Siena, San Gimignano, and Pisa. Susan is an assiduous tourist, visiting all the major sights and commenting on everything - generally favourably, but not always: “I was profane enough not to feel delighted with the whole of Botticelli’s celebrated ‘Spring’, and whilst greatly admiring much of it, could not help saying that I thought the face of Flora frightful and Spring’s figure not entirely graceful.” In addition to some original photographs on postcards which have been pasted in, there are some very attractive pen-and-ink drawings (several in colour) of buildings, street scenes and a picnic. In fine vellum bindings. V. good. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (1) €300 - 400
