COL A unique collection of drawings, manuscript papers and an exercise book... COL A unique collection of drawings, manuscript papers and an exercise book of original songs by outsider artist and musician Gwenydd Powell (b. 1889), purchased from the estate of film critic Dilys Powell and housed in a manila envelope bearing a handwritten note by Ivor Powell Jr: ""She was one of my Dad`s (Ivor Powell Senior) sisters. I think she may have committed suicide in the early 0s. She was a talented violinist"". A clipping from a 1912 Bournemouth Graphic also included here, shows Gwenydd with violin and bow and is accompanied by a caption reading ""The talented violiniste, who appears with Mr. Lloyd Powell at the Winter Gardens next week"". The lot also comprises seven abstract landscape gouaches and seven 35 x 25.5cm loose sheets featuring pencil drawings of lone figures, each labelled ""Drawing for Sculpture"". A manuscript (in a painfully precise and often illegible hand) entitled ""Notes on the Trial"" discusses Gwenydd`s landlady, black magic, hypnotism and witchcraft in very sinister tones. Of a more Blakean tone is the manuscript ""Angels Waiting To Convey The News of The Resurrection"". Viewing recommended. This lot also includes a 59.7 x 41.8cm mixed-media collage by Monica Oeli, comprising fabric, magazine and wrapping paper clippings glued onto white card, signed in pencil on lower margin, c. 1950s.

Mulcahy (Richard,) Minister for Defence (Provisional Government) An important manuscript Document, 2pp dating probably from early / mid 1922, in pencil. Unsigned but undoubtedly in his hand, outlining a series of priorities in relation to the formation and establishment of the National Army, possibly drafted as speaking notes for a Cabinet discussion. Unfortunately the document is in poor condition, with tears and fold marks, with some loss towards foot of both pages, but what remains is sufficient to be of great interest. The document outlines a series of 12 numbered points, including: 1. Get Army accepted; 2. Make an efficient back bone 3. Give it a Pro-Order tradition 4. Make it still Our Army - we having cleared Dublin on our own 5. Flabbergast those who would like to protract things indefinitely in the country in the intention that the "Govt. would never function" 6. Put us in a position in a couple of months to order the handing over to Govt. of any barracks in South continued to be held 7. Clear away any hope of any (other) army being allowed to continue…. To hold arms without out authorisation 8. To equip without Parliamentary (approval?) 9. Do. Without English trouble 10. Ulster aspect 11. Kill the idea that the Army is a preserve for any particular self-appointed drops of the "National Cream" 12. Absorb the best of the disbanded Irish Regiments in a way that will get over any stigma on us for them or on them..' (another point probably lacking at end.) With an (unrelated) manuscript postcard from Mulcahy, 1966, and a news cutting. * Richard Mulcahy became deputy Chief of Staff of the Irish Volunteers in late 1916, working closely with Michael Collins. He supported the Treaty, and became Minister for National Defence in the Provisional Government, Eoin O'Duffy became Chief of Staff of the (Free State) Army, of which Collins later became Commander-in-Chief. With Collins, Richared Mulcahy set up the new National Army and established it as a force independent of party politics. He resigned as Minister for Defence in March 1924, after the so-called Army Mutiny. A unique document in spite of its condition, providing a valuable insight into Mulcahy's thinking at a crucial time. (1)

PUBLICATIONS AND PAPERS OF “SCEILG” [O'Kelly (J.J.)] Sceilg, Books, articles and papers of the Irish-language and republican activist, author and journalist John Joseph O'Kelly, known as Sceilg (1872-1957). (1) Of particular interest is a small notebook in O'Kelly's hand containing daily entries for the period October 1915 to March 1916. There are detailed comments on the progress of the Great War, the activities and speeches of the Irish Party, and events in Ireland. (2) Several books by or connected with O'Kelly, some with dedications, and seven of O'Kelly's shorter works, including his Irish-language play Cúroí with his own notes. Also the manuscript of the English-language version of Cúroí, acts I-III, with many notes by O'Kelly. (3) Bound copy of The Catholic Bulletin for the year 1916.

Manuscript Novels by Charles Lever [Lever (Charles)] Substantial Manuscripts of two novels by Charles Lever. The title pages, unfortunately, are missing. One begins with a list of contents; there are 38 chapters, the first being entitled "A Mountain Hare". The other novel lacks the first 9 pages and continues to p. 440. Both works contain extensive annotations and corrections. Charles Lever (1806-1872) was the author of an apparently unending stream of Irish novels, many of which were best sellers. His earlier works are "Victorian picaresque" stories of rumbustious Irish characters, some of whose escapades may well have been modelled on his own equally eventful life. The horrors of the cholera epidemic of 1832 and the Great Famine sobered him up, and some of his later works reflect the miseries of the Irish peasantry under an unjust landlord system. Though only second generation Irish, he remained loyal to Ireland for most of his subject matter. Scorned by the leaders of the Gaelic Revival who perceived him as having milked the character of the stage Irishman to advance his career, Lever is now coming to be recognised as a gifted and multi-faceted writer worthy of serious study. Provenance: These manuscripts were found among the papers of Edmund Downey (1856-1937), author of Charles Lever: His Life and Letters (2 vols, 1906), and were evidently used by Downey when compiling his work. There are also a few loose pages in Lever's hand, some cuttings with annotations by Downey from The Dublin University Magazine which Lever edited, notes by Downey on short stories by Lever, and other notes by Downey and M. Geary. As manuscripts, w.a.f.. Extremely Rare. · The above manuscripts are a really exciting discovery to add to his already known large corpus of work. (1)

Interesting Travel Diary The Charlevilles Visit Florence, 1820-1821 Manuscript: [Tisdall (Catherine)?] This small notebook contains the second part (the first is unfortunately missing) of a Journal recounting the visit to Florence in 1820-21 of the Earl and Countess of Charleville and their family. It begins with their arrival in Bologna on 11 November 1820 and continues with their journey to Florence a few days later. There they remained for the next six months. The anonymous narrator is evidently Catherine Tisdall, daughter of James Tisdall of Bawn, Co. Louth, and his wife Catherine Maria Dawson of Kinsealy, Co. Dublin. Catherine's father had died in 1797 and her mother married in the following year the landowner, antiquarian and politician Charles William Bury, who was created Earl of Charleville in 1806; their only son was born in 1801 and bore the courtesy title of Baron Tullamore. In the early years of the century they built Charleville Forest in Tullamore to the design of Francis Johnston. The party consisted of Catherine, her brother James Tisdall, the Earl and Countess, and their son Charles Bury, Lord Tullamore. The journal recounts an apparently ceaseless round of balls, operas, plays, flirtations and courtesy calls. Catherine was then in her twenties and a keen observer of society. She was also a connoisseur of the arts, fluent in Italian and French, and records her observations on all available paintings, sculptures and concerts. She describes the passing of the Austrian troops through Florence on their way to suppress the Carbonari Rebellion in Naples. Illnesses, a constant feature of life among all classes until very recent times, are frequently mentioned, and she has some caustic comments on the fees charged by the (English) doctor. The tantrums of her half-brother Lord Tullamore are a continual cause of concern. The central event of their stay in Florence is Lord Tullamore's marriage to Harriet Charlotte Beaujolois Campbell, attended by her mother Lady Charlotte Bury (a former society belle and future novelist) and stepfather, the Rev. Edward John Bury. The party left Florence on 28 May 1821 and travelled via Bologna, Modena, Parma, Turin and Lyon to Vichy; the MS concludes with a detailed and amusing account of their stay there. The journal provides a fascinating insight into the experiences of an Anglo-Irish family abroad, and forms a closely observed critique of the British colony in early 19th-century Florence.

LETTERS FROM KASHMIR, 1874 Co. Westmeath: Howard (Capt. Kenneth) Small manuscript notebook (53 pages of writing) containing contemporary copies of letters written by Captain Kenneth Howard, R.A., to his father the Hon. James K. Howard, his mother Lady Louisa Howard, and his sister Winifrede, between 26 June and 18 August 1874. Howard was a grandson of the 16th Earl of Suffolk and a cousin of the 5th Marquis of Lansdowne, recently Under-Secretary of State for War and a future Viceroy of India. In 1881 he married Emily Bury, the heiress to Charleville Forest, Co. Offaly, and changed his name to Howard-Bury. The letters comprise a graphic account of Captain Howard's journey through northern India, from Delhi through Amritsar, Rawalpindi and Kashmir to Islamabad. His narrative abounds in details of the countryside through which he passes - its landscape, people, and wild flowers. Though writing from the viewpoint of a British colonial officer, his empathy with what he sees comes across clearly. Most of his time was spent in Kashmir, of which he writes: "This country would be a perfect paradise if only it was ours as it ought to be, for the Maharajah is a brute who oppresses his wretched people in the most fearful way and we don't interfere, why I don't know." Also document in Kashmiri (?) in a small envelope marked "Order from the Maharajah of Cashmere to grant me coolies and supplies." Recent typed transcript (some sections omitted) available to successful purchaser; and Pencil Sketches by Capt. Kenneth Howard Six pencil sketches drawn by Captain Kenneth Howard, R.A. (1845-1885) in the 1870s: · Spahi (Arab cavalryman in the French service) · Villa du Palmier, Algiers, 1870 · Salon, Zammit's Hotel, Algeria, 1870 · Arab woman, 1870 · On the Hydra road, 1870 (depicting house between trees) · Near Pamaratta, New South Wales, 1874 (depicting farmhouse with background of trees and mountains).

"Sporting Memoirs Of a Victorian Officer" Howard (Capt. Kenneth) A Manuscript Memoir compiled c. 1870 by Captain Kenneth Howard (1845-1885). Undated and incomplete. Also typed copy of most of the MS. Howard was a grandson of the 16th Earl of Suffolk on his father's side and of the 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne on his mother's. He was educated at Eton and Woolwich Military Academy and became an officer in the Royal Artillery. He served with his regiment in Canada, India and elsewhere. In 1881 he married Lady Emily Bury, who in 1875 had succeeded her uncle the 5th and final Earl of Charleville to the family estate in Co. Offaly, and they changed their surname to Howard-Bury. Their son was Colonel Charles Kenneth Howard Bury of Charleville Forest, the famous explorer and leader of the first Everest expedition (1921). In the memoir Howard recounts his idyllic childhood and school days, his early years in the Army, periods of winter leave spent at Bowood (seat of the Lansdowne family), equestrian pursuits at Aldershot and elsewhere, and his departure in 1867 via Ireland for service in the newly formed Canadian Federation. He has much to say of life in Canada - hunting, shooting and fishing in the Great Lakes region, natural history and scenery, and social life. Returning to Ireland he visited Athlone, Limerick, the Curragh, Charleville Castle, Tullamore, Athlone again, and Galway. The Irish section was published in Offaly Records, July 2005. While the memoir does not deal with dramatic events, it creates a vivid picture of the life of a Victorian officer. Also included: Typescript (9 pp) by Colonel C.K. Howard-Bury entitled "A Remote Province of China" [Ili in northernmost Xinjiang], and miscellaneous notes on the Howard, Bury and Marlay families by Marian Keaney. As a manuscript collection, w.a.f.

MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS OF THE DUNNE FAMILY, BALLYMANUS, STRADBALLY, QUEEN'S COUNTY [LAOIS], 1811-1903 INCLUDING A LARGE COLLECTION OF CONTEMPORARY MANUSCRIPT VERSE. Co. Leix Archive: During the 19th century the Dunne family rented from the Grattans of Tinnehinch the house and lands of Ballymanus, Stradbally, Queen's County (part of an estate which the statesman Henry Grattan bought in 1782 from the Cosbys with money awarded to him by the Irish Parliament). In the 1850s Michael Dunne played a significant political role in the county, and his son the racehorse owner William Dunne bred two Irish Derby winners and his horse Cortolvin won the Grand National in 1867. The archive principally contains a large collection of early 19th Century manuscript Songs & Ballads. This collection of rhymes, songs, ballads and poems, written collected and in many cases transcribed by the Dunne family of Ballymanus, Stradbally, Queen's County (Laois). Most are Irish, some are from the sister island, a few from further afield. In subject they vary from sentimental and patriotic to humorous and whimsical. Nearly all are in manuscript and date from the early and mid 19th century. Some, such as "The Lincolnshire Poacher" and "The Meeting of the Waters", are well known, but others may never have been published and a many are certainly original, being composed for individual people or occasions. The earliest is probably a drinking song "wrote by Miss Moore for Mr Willm Dunne, Ballimanus October the 2nd 1788" and a transcript of "Lochaber no more" is dated 1793. Two poems lament the death of Patrick Dunne of Ballymanus in 1817 aged 26. An exercise book contains a number of valentines and other ditties addressed to young ladies, the last dated 1864. The most recent item is perhaps "The Kaiser's Raid" by "W.H.D.", a denunciation of the German naval attack on West Hartlepool in December 1914. A few of the songs have political motives. At the general election of 1859 two Dunnes were returned unopposed - Michael Dunne of Ballymanus (a strong farmer, Catholic and Liberal) and Lt. Col. the Rt Hon. Francis Plunket Dunne of Brittas (a landowner, officer, Protestant and Conservative). This caused an effusion of pride from John W. Hanagan "the Bard of Dooragan": May honour, virtue and renown Your Parliamentary labours crown And this shall be the Poet's prayer May the House of Dunne never want an heir. This collection is an intimate reminder of the days when music and song were the principal form of entertainment at the Irish fireside. The archive also contains the following: · 10 items re the planting of trees at Ballymanus by William Dunne, 1811-1817 (1 of 1878). · 2 letters from Francis Biddulph of Rathrobin House, Killoughy, Tullamore, 1840, giving a detailed account of an attempt on his life. Signed "Killoughy, himself again" and "Killoughy for ever." · Correspondence between Michael Dunne, Walter Berwick and James Grattan of Tinnehinch, Co. Wicklow, concerning the rents of Ballymanus, 1849-1855. 2 letters from Grattan's brother Henry. 21 items. · 2 letters from Rev. Francis Clough, S.J.. Headmaster of Stonyhurst, re progress of "your dear boy", 1855 and 1859. · Correspondence and plan from James Boyd & Sons, Paisley, for a new greenhouse to be built at Ballymanus for William Dunne, 1890s. · Certificate signed by Sir Algernon Coote, Lieutenant for the Queen's County, appointing William Dunne of Ballymanus a Deputy Lieutenant, 21 August 1903. · Specification of alterations to be made at Ballymanus for G. Dennehy Esq., J.P. n.d. · Other items. As an Archive, in two folders and a file, w.a.f. (1)
