Manuscript note or list on headed paper from St. Enda’s School, Rathfarnham.
Draft transcription (with emendations and notes) of ‘Sgéal “Sheandúin”’ (Tadhg Ó Murchadha). The transcription was probably compiled by Br. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. for his serial publication of Ó Murchadha’s text in ‘The Father Mathew Record’ (July 1924-August 1925). It appears that transcription is missing several pages.
Manuscript transcript of Robert Emmet’s ‘Speech from the dock’ (1803) by Terence MacSwiney. The text is a copy by MacSwiney of an Irish translation of Emmet’s speech made by Tadhg Ó Murchadha (‘Seandún’). The text was later bound into a volume by Br. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. Gilt title to spine reads ‘Manuscript copy by Terence MacSwiney of Robert Emmet’s speech’. A manuscript addition suggests that the original translation by Ó Murchadha was published in ‘Fáinne an Lae’ in May 1899.
A copy of the sheet music for ‘Himno de la Independencia de Brasil’. This patriotic song was composed in 1822, as a commemoration of Brazil’s declaration of independence from Portugal. The melody was composed by Don Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil, and was popular until his abdication in 1831. A note in English on the first page suggests that this copy was compiled by the organist of the Cathedral in São José in 1828. The note is initialled ‘R.W.’ who seemingly visited Brazil in that year.
