The pamphlet comprises extracts taken from a ‘discourse at the Third Council of Baltimore, by Dr. John Ireland, late Archbishop of St. Paul, 10th November 1884’. Rev. Edmond O’Shea, Philadelphia, contends that the principles contained in Dr. Ireland’s speech offer a ‘full vindication by America’s foremost Statesman and Theologian of the Irish Republic proclaimed by Padraig Pearse and the Men of Easter Week, 1916, and ratified by Plebiscite of the Irish People, December 28th, 1918’.

An election flier for Michael O'Mullane, a Sinn Féin politician, referring to Noel Lemass who 'has been brutally murdered by agents of The "Free" State'.

An Anti-Treaty handbill: 'Merciless tigers in their dealings with unarmed Republican prisoners. Spineless worms in their dealings with English ministers. That's what O'Higgins and Mulcahy are'.
A satirical republican flier on the demise of the pro-Treaty 'Freeman's Journal' newspaper.
