[Moore (George)] An Túr-Ghort. Sgéalta le Seorsa Ó Mórdha; aistrighthe ó'n Sacsbhéarla ag Pádraig Ó Súilleabháin, B.A. Baile-Atha-Cliath, Sealy Bryers & Walker n.d. [1902]. Orig. wrappers, decorated in Celtic style; about an inch of upper cover and first five leaves unevenly torn away, with no loss of text, right-hand upper corner slightly abraded throughout, lacking rear wrapper. (1)Dedicated in English by Moore to his nephews Rory and Ulick Moore, native Irish speakers. 'They may be called to continue a literary tradition into the fourth generation. In this case, they will be able to do it in Irish, and by writing in Irish they will continue the literary tradition of our country'.An exceptionally rare item, dating from Moore's return to Dublin and his brief dalliance with Gaelic affairs under the influence of Yeats and Hyde. According to MacMillan Dict. of Irish Lit., this publication precedes the English version The Untilled Field [1903]. The damage is unsightly, but could probably be significantly improved by skilful repairs.

Written in a childish hand, with atrocious spelling. Contained in "The Emerald Copy Book," which dates from c. 1890 (therefore this is a later transcript?)

A fascinating and rare instance of rustic versification in the years before the introduction of national schools. As a m/ss, w.a.f. (1)
JACOBITE SILVER PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AT GERTRUYDENBERG MEDALLION NORBERT ROETTIER (1665 - 1727), STRUCK 1710 Obverse; laureate and armoured bust of Price James with legend CVIS. EST Reverse; map of Great Britain and Ireland with ships around and motto REDDITE in banner above Diameter: 38mm, weight: 20.2g Note: The political and religious turmoil in early 1700s in Europe lead to peace negotiations to try and restore normality to the continent. This aimed to settle the landscape and the Jacobites hoped that new stability would increase the chances of the British wanting the return of the exiled King James. It is considered that this is the medallion that was discussed by Abel Boyer when he wrote "About this time (July 1710) a medal was dispersed in the Netherlands by the Chevalier de St George's Friends….. This medal was undoubtedly struck at this juncture upon the fond hopes given by Jacobites in England, to their Correspondents in France, that the British Court and Nation were ready to invite the Pretender…. But whatever ground there was for such an expectation things were not yet ripe enough for the Pretenders Friends to throw of the Mask." Struck in silver and bronze (and extremely rarely in gold) this is a rare example of an early medallion at a point when the exiled king still held hopes of regaining the throne.

JACOBITE BRONZE BIRTH OF PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART MEDALLION OTTONE HAMERANI (1694 - 1764), STRUCK 1720 Obverse; conjoined bust laureate and armoured bust of James and Clementina facing right with motto IACOB. III. R. CLEMENTINA. R Reverse; Providence standing leaning against a column holding the infant price and pointing to a globe with the territories of Britain and Ireland noted, legend PROVIDENTIA OBSTERETRIK and in exergue CARLO. PRINC: VALLIAE NAT: DIE. VLTIMA A: MDCCXX Diameter: 41mm, weight: 30.8g References: Woolf, N., 'The Medallic Record of the Jacobite Movement', item 38:1 Eimer, C., 'British Commemorative Medals, and their values', item 488
JACOBITE SILVER TREATY OF AIX-LA-CHAPELLE MEDALLION JOSEPH CHARLES ROETTIER (1693 - 1779), STRUCK 1748 Obverse; right facing bust of Prince Charles, legend CAROLUS WALLIEA PRINCEOPS (Charles Prince of Wales) 1745 Reverse; standing figure of Britannia with union flag within shield protecting a globe showing the British Isles, with rock and sea weed in foreground and ships in sail behind, legend AMOR ET SPES (Love and Hope), with BRITANNIA in exergue Diameter: 41mm, weight: 29.4g Note: Often termed the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle medallion it is also known as the 'Young Pretender 1745' medallion. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle ended Europe's wide political and monarchical turmoil in the late 1740s. Although not directly linked to the Jacobite's or Stuart succession, the British Hanoverian Government and Monarchy used it as an opportunity to shut the door on the support offered by France. Part of their demands in the treaty were that France's monarchy were to denounce the Stuart claim and instead offer support to the reigning Hanoverian monarchy, with the result of expelling the Stuarts from France. It appears that Charles took this opportunity to try and garner support for his cause and commissioned these medallions, issued in various sizes and metals. The medallions seem to have almost caused some political tension and offence to both France and Britain. Although dated 1745, they date to 1748 with the Treaty and commemorate the uprising of '45. With the understanding he would be expelled from France, Charles took the opportunity, in his usual brash fashion, to commission these. It is quoted by Ascanius (aka the Young Adventurer) that Charles "first indication he gave of his disgust [of the Treaty] was to cause a great number of medals both of silver and copper to be cast having his head and this inscription, CAROLUS WALLIAE PRINCEPS: and the reverse Britannia and shipping with the motto, AMOR ET SPES BRITANNIA, Everyone was surprised at the device; as France was reduced to the condition of peace entirely by the bravery of the British fleet, this device gave great offence to the French ministry..." Indeed, it would appear that Joseph Charles Roettier was embarrassed and concerned to take the commission, as he worked for the French Mint at the time.

JACOBITE BRONZE PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART OAK SOCIETY MEDALLION THOMAS PINGO (1714 - 1776), STRUCK 1750 Obverse; bust of Prince Charles facing right Reverse; stricken oak with shoots appearing from base with REVIRESCIT above and 1750 in exergue Diameter: 34mm, weight: 15.2g Note: Much debate has surrounded the production of the Oak Society medallions. It was for some time suggested they were produced to commemorate the visit of Prince Charles, in the upmost secrecy, to London and the Society in 1750. However, this appears unlikely as there is documentary evidence of the commission of these by 1749, when it is unlikely plans had been made. The Oak Society was one of many pro-Jacobite clubs which sprung up after the defeat at Culloden. They met in London at the Crown & Anchor on the corner of Arundel Street and the Strand. The use of such obvious Jacobite icons for a medallion in use in Britain is unusual and the portrait of Charles (although not named) is clear. When combined with the Stuart stricken oak and motto they are very iconic representations. The stricken oak has been seen in many uses by the Jacobites/Stuarts, notably in glasses, and spoke greatly of the cause.

SCARCE JACOBITE PRINCE CHARLES EDWARD STUART AND PRINCE HENRY LEGITIMACY OF THE JACOBITE SUCCESSION SILVER MEDAL OTTONE HAMERANI (1694 - 1764), STRUCK C.1731 Obverse; armoured and draped bust of Prince Charles facing right with motto MICAT. INTER. OMNES and with six pointed star within field Reverse; armoured bust of Prince Henry facing left with legend ALTER. AB. ILLO The edge with additional motto EXTVLIT. OS. SACRVM. COELO * DIE XXXI DECEMBR. MDCCXX Diameter: 41mm, weight: 46g Note: Two main types of this classic 'Two Princes' medallion exist: those without edge lettering, and the rarer type, such as this, with the additional motto to the edge. This example is further improved by the contemporary addition of the suspension ring, making this not a medallion but a Jacobite supporter's badge/medal. Stuart medals such as this are recorded as early as King Charles I when were worn by Royalist supporters under their shirts and close to their hearts. They proved allegiance to the beheaded monarch in the time of Oliver Cromwell's rule under the Commonwealth. The wearing of such items were thought to have mystical and protective properties, as is seen with the touch pieces handed out by the monarchs and worn by supporters.
