Manuscript draft by Fr. Richard Henebry referring to the subjects of Irish music and literature. The headings include ‘Of the Keltic note’ and ‘Of Irish literature’. It reads ‘One should think that the first requisite for a neo-Keltist would be a thorough knowledge of the language and literature about to be manipulated. But strange to say it is never so. There is no one of the school that enjoys the faculty of being able to read a book in any Keltic dialect whatsoever. They depend entirely on translation …’. A two-page musical score is included. Rough pen and ink illustrations (including some of a piper and a fiddle player) by Henebry are extant on the covers.
Draft memorandum of agreement between Thomas Lloyd, 14 Longwood Avenue, Dublin, and James Pearse for the letting of house at 27 Great Brunswick Street, Dublin, for ten years at the yearly rent of £90.
Miscellaneous notes on the skin (epidermis) and cell structure. No indication is given regarding the author, but the notes appear to be in the hand of Margaret Mary Pearse.
Certificate of an award from the Intermediate Board of Education (preparatory grade) to William Pearse noting his pass in French and mathematics and a pass with honours in English and in Euclid (1894). The roll is annotated with William Pearse’s name.
Flier from Dodgson Hamilton Madden for the impending Trinity College (Dublin University) by-election. The flier reads ‘I have always been a firm supporter of the Conservative party, and I look upon its present position with pride. That party, with the patriotic aid of the Liberal Unionists, has succeeded in averting from the Empire disintegration and dishonour, and from Ireland a signal and crushing disaster’. Madden received 1,376 in the contest and was elected an MP.
