Scope and content
A bound volume containing twelve catalogues and listings of rare Irish books and pamphlets prepared by booksellers and auctioneers. The spine has a gilt title which reads ‘Pamphlets / C 17’. Many of the catalogues were published by Hodges Figgis in Dublin and Hugh Greer Bookstore in Belfast. Some of the catalogues have been annotated by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. with the titles of books (possibly with the intention of purchasing the same). Includes ‘Ards House, Co. Donegal / Catalogue of the valuable library of books to be sold by auction, commencing on Thursday, 9th May, 1929’ (Dublin, Battersby & Co., [1929]).
