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.
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.
Notes in both English and Irish probably written by Patrick Pearse. Includes a sketch, possibly of the medieval Christian monastery on St. Macdara’s Island off the coast of County Galway. Also includes references to St. Enda, a sixth-century saint who founded a Christian monastic settlement on Inis Mór, and Mochuda of Lismore who ‘did fishing’.
Photographic print (on card) of Margaret Pearse, her daughter Margaret Mary Pearse, and other individuals on the steps of St. Enda’s School in Rathfarnham, Dublin.
Catalogue for an exhibition of paintings by Maria Simonds-Gooding in the Little Theatre, Brown Thomas & Co., Grafton Street, Dublin, from 5-15 Sept. 1967.
