Nevin, C.P., Eugene: Autobiography of Fr. Eugene Nevin, C.P This MS was, from internal evidence, (v. pp 21 and 22 of part 1) written in 1954. While the MS is disjointed, it consists of several distinct parts, each of which is entered under a separate serial number and location ( serial numbers 7667-7671 locations 1/2/1/2-6). These parts, however, form a cohesive whole. This part, entitled "Novice", (serial no. 7668 located at 1/6/2/3) deals with his life as a novice and up until his arrival as a student at Mount Argus.

Nevin, C.P., Eugene: Autobiography: This item, which seems to be a distinct section of Eugene's Autobiography and deals with his association with the national movement for independence, is being treated as a seperate document from those other sections located at 1/6/2/1-6 serial nos 7666 - 7671. It contains much interesting material and gives details of Eugene's acquaintance with many of the movement's leaders. He confirms the belief that Padraig and Willie Pearse visited Mount Argus on Good Friday, 1916. On p 30 he states that they called to see him (Eugene) but he was away preaching at a city church. On p 31 he recounts how Eoin MacNeill sent him a letter by hand on Easter Sunday morning, 1916, notifying him of his order "not to parade" the next day. A verbal message to use his influence to obtain compliance with that order was followed up by Eugene visiting local centres such as Plunkett's Larkfield House and Eamon Kent at his residence in Dolphin's Barn. It would take up too much space to detail any of the other interesting contents. Two, however, need recording. At 1/6/1/2 serial no 2204 is located the Provincial's rebuke and censure on Eugene for his speech at the Mansion House. On p.31 of the above item Eugene gives details of that concert and his speech. On p.15 he records the account of his address to the volunteers at the church parade in 1916. The date of this item is deduced from a letter dated 31/12/1956 from the Secretary to the Board of Military History 1913-1921 thanking Eugene for submitting his association account to them (v. item at 1/6/2/8 serial no 7673).

In his account of his association with the national movement for independence (located at 1/6/2/7 serial no 7672) on p.21 Eugene gives a written record of that concert and his speech afterwards.

It covers a wide range of topics and contains many items about his native place which would be of interest to folklorists. This part is also typed in two sections: pp 1/115, bound in a blue cover and pp116/153 consisting of loose typed sheets.
