Edwin Richard Wyndham Quin was born in London in 1812. He succeeded his father as third Earl in 1850. Educated at Trinity College, Dublin, he had represented Glamorgan as a conservative 1837-1851. A life long enthusiast of archaeology, he was a founder member with Petrie and o'Donovan of the Irish Archaeological Society in 1840. The above work, justly recognised as the finest and most lavish of all Irish Archaeological productions is renowned for the quality of the photographs and lithos. Dunraven, a convert to Catholicism, a highly regarded and popular landlord and a man of considerable intellectual powers regarded "notes on Irish Architecture as his finest achievement and his most appropriate legacy". Pristine copies of this work rarely appear on the market.

598. Frazer, G.G. O'Brien's Breeches; or A Tale of Tullamore. (A Poem). London. Hildesheimer & Faulkner. n.d. (c.1888), 12 pages (not numbered), including six tinted vignette illustrations by the author - scenes in Tullamore Prison, R.I.C. men attempting to steal the prisoner’s clothes, O'Brien in his smuggled-in Blarney tweed suit, etc., etc. Pictorial card covers, first (sole?) edition, pictorial d.w., covers only slightly marked. Sm. 4to. Rare. €225

William O'Brien, M.P. for Mallow and Mandeville were sentenced under the Coercion Act, in 1887 to three months in prison. They were first lodged in Cork jail but after refusing to wear prison dress or clean out their cells were removed the first night to Tullamore Jail, "a region of tepid nationality" (O'Brien), where they were surrounded by "stern officials who would stand no nonsense… the solitary cell, the prison dress, the plank bed, their heads shaved and to do menial jobs". O'Brien continued to wear his civilian clothes day and night, but in order to retrieve them, the prison staff were unwilling to physically attack him. After undressing one night he found the following morning that his prison clothes had been removed and a blue hospital dress left in their place. O'Brien refused to leave his bed until his clothes were returned to him. "One morning, about a week later, when the turnkey unlocked the door, he found (to his amazement) his prisoner sitting on the bed, fully dressed once more in a span-new suit of Blarney tweed, (smuggled in), with shirt, collar, a green silk necktie and a soft hat!"

The Legendary & Heroic Period.

645. O'Grady, Standish. History of Ireland: Critical and Philosophical. Vol. 1(all published). London (&) Dublin (Dublin printed). Sampson Low & Co. (&) E. Ponsonby & Co. 1881. First edition. 8vo. p.p. viii, 468. Map. Original purple cloth. V.G. €250

This is a more conventional history of the legendary, heroic, period that he treated in his seminal History of Ireland, 1878-80. The bardic style of the earlier work, while of enormous importance in promoting the Literary Revival, had drawn adverse criticism from orthodox historians, and this book was written along fairly conventional lines to allay that criticism. O'- Grady's imaginative impulse was not however entirely subdued and Ernest Boyd thought that it "may be profitably regarded as a commentary or appendix to this 'Bardic History' ".

674. Political Pamphlet/Broadside. John Bull to Brother Patrick in Ireland. London. July 19. 1803. 1 Folio page (44x27cms) pamphlet addressed to "Dear Pat" from "Your affectionate brother & sincere friend, John Bull". Vicious propaganda against the "Corsican Barbarian" (Napoleon) and the French troops in general. The writer appears to fear a French invasion & says that "they will certainly pay Pat a visit in Ireland but that as long as a drop of British or Irish blood flows in our veins such things can never come to pass". He warns "the French will rifle our pockets, abuse our women, murder our helpless babies and trample under foot our aged parents. "If a single Briton or Irishman had a hundred lives would he not willingly sacrifice them one after another, in defence of such objects". The irony of 'John Bulls' appeal to Ireland to take up arms against the French is pronounced. John Bull's record in Ireland for hundreds of years, tainted by Cromwellian massacres, Carew & Mount joy's "Scorched Earth Policy" in Munster 1600/1603, The Ulster Plantation with British & Scotch mercenaries and the "To Hell or to Connaught" mind set was never calculated "To win friends and influence people". This rare pamphlet would have enjoyed a quick shift in Ireland, the toilet or fire being the most likely receptacles. Rare. Excellent condition. €825.

Flood, the great orator and patriotic statesman, willed the bulk of his considerable estate to Trinity College Dublin on the death of his wife, for the purchase of Irish (Gaelic) manuscripts and to promote the study of the Irish language. Lawrence, later 2nd Earl of Rosse and described by Wolfe Tone as "one of the very, very few honest men in the Irish House of Commons", was a close friend and colleague of Flood's and wrote this book arguing for the antiquity of Irish civilisation to explain the latter's widely misunderstood reasons for making such a will. The will was later successfully contested and the estate went to the family with the result that proper academic scholarship of the Irish language was delayed by many years.

700. (Press, The). The Beauties of the Press, with an appendix containing the speech of Arthur O'Connor on the Catholic Question in the House of Commons in Ireland on Monday, May 4, 1795: also his letter to Lord Castlereagh. London. 1800. p.p.602. Cntp. calf. V.G. €750

This book is a selection of important articles and verse from the columns of the United Irishmen's newspaper The Press, which they founded to promulgate their views after the suppression of The Northern Star. To obstruct government suppression the ownership was secret but Arthur O'- Connor was the principal shareholder. The paper ran under increasingly difficult circumstances for 68 numbers from Sept. 1797 until March 1798, when, like The Northern Star, its presses and types were broken up with sledge hammers by a squad of militia while the sixty-ninth issue was being set in type. The paper contained robust denunciations of the government, bold exposures of its corruptions and cruelties, impassioned statements on the liberty of the press and on liberty in general, and some poetry. Contributors included Thomas Emmet, the Sheares brothers, Thomas Russell, Drennan, Arthur O'Connor, and even the young Thomas Moore. The paper was avidly read by (and to) the masses to whom it was directed, and "its influence was greater, considering its brief existence, than that of any earlier Irish newspaper, except perhaps the 'Freeman' in its heyday" (Inglis). Material from the suppressed issues 68 and 69 included.

Taylor (B. Dublin, 1781-1850), landscape and subject painter, art writer and critic, had in 1819 issued a prospectus of a 'History of the University of Dublin' which was to have been issued in twelve quarto parts each with two coloured plates. This scheme however folded and only a few plates were published. Although he was active in the efforts that led in 1823 to the incorporation of the Royal Hibernian Academy he moved shortly afterwards to London. This history is a greatly expanded development of his earlier intentions and was the best history of the university published up to
that time.

Lisburn born Nicholson was lauded by his peers for his military exploits on behalf of the British Empire in Pakistan and afghanistan and was one of many soldiers of the North West Frontier who created their own mythology of selfless duty and heroism. This work perpetuates the myth, when in reality, Nicholson was an imperialist psychopath who personally supervised the blasting from the guns of 107 mutineers in Peshawar in 1857.

The first index to prerogative wills was compiled by Sir William Betham, Ulster King of Arms, under the auspices of the Irish Record Commission. Betham superintended the work of indexing and at the same time performed the mammoth task of compiling a genealogical abstract of each record down to 1800 (approximately 37,000). In the 1890's his eventual successor Sir Arthur Vicars revised Betham's index bringing it up to 1810 and first published his results in 1897. A quarter of a century later virtually all Irish wills were destroyed in the Four Courts in 1922, thus making this index an invaluable and important source of genealogical research.

973. Reports from Commissioners re. "treason Felony Convicts". London. 1871. First. p.p.538. Folio. Org. red cloth, gilt title on spine. V.g. €590

Commissioners were appointed to inquire into the treatment of treasonfelony convicts in English prisons. Reports related solely to the following Irish prisoners and their respective prisons. (1) At Woking Prison the following Irish were confined: thomas F. Bourke, Brian Dillon, Denis D.
Mulcahy, William F. Roantree, John Murphy, Patrick Ryan, edward Power and Rickard o'S. Burke, alias Berry. At Chatham Prison: John Devoy, C.u. o'Connell, John McClure, William Halpin, alias John
Hart, J. o'Donovan Rossa, Henry Shaw, alias Mullidy. At Dartmoor Prison, one Irish prisoner, Patrick lennon. And at Portland Prison: John o'leary, george Brown, t.C. luby, W. Mackay, Michael Sheehy,
Mortimer Shea, alias Moriarty, edward St. Clair, Peter Mohan, John McCafferty, Patrick Doran and Patrick Walsh. Comprehensive Report on the special treatment reserved for Irish political prisoners in English Gaols. While it is obvious that the governors, prisoner officers and general "screws" were desperate to convey the impression of humane and compassionate care the reality is shocking, the Irish prisoners were treated deplorably and in the case of Jeremiah o'Donovan Rossa, his treatment
was little short of barbaric. This is crystal clear from his own evidence before the commission and that of a decent physician Dr. Robert lyons who submitted a special repost roundly criticising the prison authorities treatment of O'Donovan Rossa.

Further enquiry into the treatment of following Irish political prisoners at Chatham: James McKevitt, James Mcgrath, thomas gallagher, albert Whitehead, Henry Wilson, John Curtin, timothy Featherstone,
Patrick Flanagan, Henry Dalton, James McCullagh, thomas Devany, Peter Callaghan, Henry McCann, terence McDermott, James F. egan, John Daly, Harry Burton, James g. gilbert, John Duff, thomas
Callan and Michael Harkins. Among the Irish complaints were their treatment as "special prisoners". Their hostile treatment by the lower officers, fostered by the authorities. Prisoner Wilson stated "The bitter hatred of the average Chatham officer for the Irish Fenian makes itself felt in a thousand ways and we are all ill treated by the lower officers because they know that they can do with impunity". The over all conclusion of this comprehensive report was worthy of Widgery whose "Whitewash Report"
a century later was just one of many produced by the British establisment over four hundred years in relation to the "Irish Question" and which invariably ruled strongly in favour of the Empire against the wiles of "Duplicitous Pat".

British Consul Roger Casement was knighted in 1911 for his investigations into the genocide of tribal inhabitations of the Congo Free State and the Indian natives of the Putumayo Region in the Amazon Rainforest. In July 1910 Casement was instructed by Sir edward grey, The Secretary of the Foreign Office to travel to Peru and investigate the activities of the Peruvian amazon Company in the Putumayo Region. Casement spent 4/5 harrowing months from August to November 1910 in this god forsaken
region and the above correspondence submitted to Gray on his return to London in January 1911 was unprecedented in its horrific descriptions of murder, torture and rape by employees of the Peruvian Amazon Company against the gentle and friendly natives who had been enslaved and forced
to collect and transport rubber along the banks of the Putumayo River. The atrocities were simply appalling. When Casement's correspondence to gray was eventually published in 1912 (delayed due to British/Peruvian Government diplomatic manoeuvres) it created a sensation and Casements
compassionate and humanitarian anger struck a chord with both a British and European audience.

In June 1903, Lord Lansdowne, the British Foreign Minister instructed Roger Casement, their Consul at Boma, to undertake a personal survey of the conditions existing in the Upper Congo. This project was precipitated by vague rumours of unethical behaviour of Belgian overseers on the rubber
plantations. Casement arrived at Leopoldville on the 6th June and for the next 10 weeks traversed the Upper Congo where his worse fears were confirmed. King Leopold's Annexation of over a million square miles of territory in central Africa and his country's rapacious exploitation of the Congo's natural resources of ivory and particularly rubber, was evident. Torture, murder and mutilation were daily occurrences. Casements graphic report to Lord Landsdowne was published in 1904 and his vivid and horrific descriptions of limb amputation, even for trifling misdemeanours caused outrage on publication. Overnight Casement had become a "celebrity". However his disgust for empires and their excesses had been fuelled in the steaming jungles of the Congo with long term disastrous implications for him.

The property defence association was formed in December 1880, to combat the grown and influence of the Land League whose "truculent agitation, commenced in 1869 had excited the tenant class throughout Ireland to repudiate all contracts and oppose all process of law." The Property Defence
Association, whose first chairman was the earl of Courtown, consisted of a who's who of major landlords, gentry and establishment figures. Among their first committee were the Earls of Rosse, Meath, Bandon, Donoughmore, Carysfort and leitrim. Also the Marquis of ormonde, lord talbot De Malahide and the earl of Courtown. The Land League, superbly organised, had a years start on the establishment and as its power and influence increased it sounded the death knell of centuries of rack
