Review of 'The Capuchin Annual'. The review reads ‘"The Capuchin Annual" … is intimately bound up with the name of one man – Father Senan. He founded it twenty-five years ago and edited every issue until the present one. … Though indifferent health compels him to retire from editorship, his spirit, sensitive in love for Ireland, and attuned to what is great in Catholic affairs and lives, in "The Annuals" he edited, is enough to inspire and encourage future editors’.

A very large collection of metal stereotypes and photoengraving plates (most of which are mounted on wooden blocks) used for printing purposes for 'The Capuchin Annual'.
