Rough pen and ink illustrations (including some of a piper and a fiddle player) by Henebry are extant on the covers.

So, it is not alone for the quantity of his works but for the wide field in which he worked that we have to claim for an Athair Peadar that he is the “Father of Modern Irish”’. The author added ‘He was ordained in 1867, the Fenian year, and his pays his tribute to the Fenian men with the reserve of the Catholic priest reminding us that in O’Donovan Rossa’s paper there was no word of Irish …’.
