A bound book, formerly ‘The Works of Ruskin / library edition / Vol. II’, in which clippings relating to the 1916 Rising taken from contemporary newspapers have been laid in.

The volume includes contemporary accounts mainly taken from loyalist publications, including the ‘Irish Times’, ‘Daily Sketch’ and ‘Weekly Dispatch’. The volume also included articles from the ‘Cork Free Press’. The end pages of the volume contain clippings relating to the Civil War and to the executions of republicans during the latter stages of that conflict.
