Wilde signed a contract for this, his first book of poems with David Bogue on 17th May, 1881 and the initial printing was 750 copies.

Kottabos 1877-1882.

1120. Wilde, Oscar. (Contributor) Kottabos. Trinity Term 1877 to Hilary Term 1882. An unbroken run of 13 issues of rare Trinity College classical periodical founded by Professor Tyrrell. Kottabos contains some of the very earliest of Oscar Wilde's work and also enjoyed contributions from William Wilde, older brother of the poet. Above issues contain 2 poems by William Wilde and 3 by Oscar Wilde. The Michaelmas Term 1877,
contains Oscar Wilde's earliest and most compromising sonnet "Wasted Days" (see illustration) which accurately signposted his future obsession with the ephemeral and fleeting beauty of young boys. It is no coincidence that when he revised this poem for inclusion in his first volume of poems in 1881 (see item 1117) he changed the boy into a girl and altered the title to "Madonna Mia". If only he continued to maintain similar discretion in later life!! The 13 issues, including the rare number 1 of Hilary Term 1882
are bound in a fine recent half calf and marbled boards. €1,650.

The sixteen letters were written by Wilde to the Artist William Rothenstein between 1891 and 1900. This was their first publication. One of the letters written post Reading Goal is both beautiful and moving and worth quoting in part - "I have lost much, but still, my Dear Will, when I reckon up all that is left to me, the sun and the sea of this beautiful world, its dawns dim with gold and its nights hung with silver, many books, and all flowers, and a few good friends, and a brain and body to which health and power are not denied, really I am rich when I count up what I still have : and as for money, my money did me horrible harm. It wrecked me. I just hope to have enough to enable me to live simply and write well".

Well regarded contemporary account of life in Connemara during the First quarter of the 19th century. Henry Blake, an Irishman & his English wife and sister-in-law lived at Renvyle House Connemara and were very sympathetic to the exploitation of the local peasantry. Book describes unscrupulous Landlords, activities of Catholic Clergy, superstitions, poteen distillation, smuggling, wakes, burials and con acre system. This book is a cornucopia of social life in the West of Ireland and difficult to find in such good condition. Renvyle House was subsequently purchased by Oliver St. Gogarty and in latter years is a luxury Hotel, where local rumour claims the Progressive Democrats Political Party was concieved.

Sir George Carew, Earl of Totnes, was the great Elizabethan Military Leader in Ireland at the close of the 16th Century. He came to Ireland in 1574 and saw active service in Leinster & Munster and was Knighted in 1586 when he became an Adviser to Queen Elizabeth on Irish Affairs. In 1599, he had become President of Munster & Treasurer of War in Ireland, acquiring vast estates and ruthlessly crushing the Desmond Rebellion at the
Battle of Kinsale & later at the Siege of Dunboy Castle, whose garrison he put to the sword. Complete sets of the Carew Manuscripts are rare.
