ARMY OF THE IRISH REPUBLICJAMES CONNOLLY: HIS LAST DESPATCH FROM THE G.P.O., 1916A cyclostyled document, printed in purple ink, 1 pp foolscap (verso blank), headed ‘Army of the Irish Republic / Headquarters (Dublin Command) / 28th April 1916’, addressed ‘To Soldiers’, over signature ‘James Connolly / Commandant General / Dublin Division’.‘This is the fifth day of the establishment of the Irish Republic and the flag of our country still floats from the most important buildings in Dublin, and is gallantly protected by the Officers and Irish Soldiers in arms throughout the country .. The manhood of Ireland, inspired by our splendid action, are gathering to offer up their lives if necessary in the same holy cause. We are here hemmed in because the enemy feels that in this building is to be found the heart and inspiration of our great movement.‘Let me remind you of what you have done. For the first time in 700 years the flag of a free Ireland floats triumphantly in Dublin city. The British Army .. are afraid to advance to the attack or storm any positions held by our forces. Our Commandants around us are holding their own, etc. [mentioning Comdts. Daly, MacDonagh, Mallin, De Valera and Kent] .. In Galway Captain Mellows .. is in the field with his men. Wexford and Wicklow are strong and Cork and Kerry are equally acquitting themselves creditably .. ‘As you know, I was wounded twice yesterday and am unable to move about, but have got my bed moved into the firing line and with the assistance of your Officers will be just as useful to you as ever.‘Courage boys, we are winning and in the hour of our victory let us not forget the splendid women who have everywhere stood by us and cheered us on. Never had man or woman a grander cause, never was a cause more grandly served.’Connolly was wounded by a sniper’s dum-dum bullet on the Thursday of Easter Week, while accompanying a sortie towards the Independent Newspapers building. He was able to drag himself back to the GPO, where his leg was operated on by a British forces doctor who was a prisoner of the Volunteers. The following day, Friday, he sent for his secretary Winifred Carney and dictated the present despatch, aimed at rallying the spirit of his men, now threatened on all sides. Many of the operational details are incorrect, but they may be taken as a guide to the information and rumours circulating in the GPO as the siege reached its height.Later that evening the GPO was evacuated, and Connolly was carried into Moore Street, with Winifred Carney still by his side, where he signed the surrender document and surrendered with the rest on Saturday. He was tried by court martial, and was shot by firing squad on 9 May while strapped to a chair.This appears to be an original copy of a very rare document, Connolly’s last public statement as Commandant of the Dublin forces. A few marks, but generally in good condition.Provenance: From the collection of Capt. Arthur Delaney of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers, who served in France and was in Dublin in the summer of 1916.

50 COPIES ONLY PUBLISHED - ST. ENDA’S COLLEGE. AN SCOLÁIRE, 1913. Desmond Ryan’s set.An extensive run (probably complete) of this very rare cyclostyled school magazine prepared and published by the pupils of Pearse’s school St. Enda’s, 1913, Vol. 1 number 1-2-3-4, 6-7-8-9 (16.4.13 - 7.6.13), lacking only No. 5 from the first 9 numbers (probably all published). Small quarto, cyclostyled, generally 8 pp or 12 pp (folded sheets), the Roneo plates written in manuscript in several hands, with some cartoon drawings. With a copy of ‘Le Petit Patriote’, Vol. 1 No. 1, St. Enda’s, 10 May 1913, ‘For the Students of Prep. & Junior Grades Only’, 4 pp (same format, single folded sheet). Judging by the publication date, this is probably the missing No. 5 of An Scoláire, since it falls between no. 4 (4.5.13) and 6 (17.5.13).In the last number of Pearse’s printed magazine ‘An Macaomh’ [Vol. II no. 2, May 1913], he states that ‘There exists at St. Enda’s a trilingual newspaper called “An Sgoláire” [sic], of which fifty copies are printed on a Roneo reduplicator every week and sold at a penny a copy. It is owned and edited by the boys themselves, and owes its existence to a movement which originated among them. The politics of the paper centres largely round the question as to whether cricket should be played as a summer game by Irish boys. School work and play are chronicled from week to week, and school personalities discussed and criticised in prose, verse and cartoon. Most of the contributions are in the nature of jeux d’esprit; some are manfully propagandist. A few seem to me touched with that literary grace which is as recognisable and as indefineable as a personal grace ..’The first number states that ‘An Scoláire, the students’ paper, is today presented to the Endaian Republic. Its aim & policy are embodied in its name. To make you true scholars, earnest and lively, self restrained and self reliant, to make you live and laugh, to love each other and dear old Ireland, such is its purpose. God grant it success, may it prove a blessing to all. Read it; write for it; criticise it, make it both your own in character [and] in outlook. Make the spirit of School Eanna pervade it. Let the glory of Ireland inspire it. In a word: May it be the herald of a glorious day: the day when Ireland will be “A Nation once again”.’It is not formally a Pearse item, since the content was clearly determined entirely by the students themselves. Nevertheless, the freshness and variety of the material testifies eloquently to the quality of the school which Pearse and his fellow-masters had established, and the extent to which its pupils felt themselves jointly responsible for their own education and formation. It is difficult to imagine the students of any other Irish secondary school, in 1913, producing a magazine of such quality.Desmond Ryan, who owned this set, was later Pearse’s secretary and fought in the GPO. He edited Pearse’s writings on St. Enda’s, ‘The Story of a Success’, and wrote historical works including biographies of Pearse and Connolly. An important item, and a great rarity, generally in very good condition considering its nature. The National Library of Ireland has a run of Nos. 1-9, otherwise only odd copies are found. St. Enda’s itself apparently does not have a full set.In a custom made folding box.Provenance: Family of Muriel Gahan, a gift from a relative of Desmond Ryan, who was a student at St. Enda’s.

JOSEPH MARY PLUNKETT: An important collection of early family lettersOf all the strange assortment of separatists and socialists, poets and dreamers that came together to sign the 1916 Proclamation, the strangest was Joseph Mary Plunkett. Born to a prominent and prosperous Catholic family, his father was a Papal Count and an expert in the fine arts. Educated privately and at Stonyhurst College in England, Plunkett suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis (then almost untreatable) from an early age. After graduating from UCD he was advised to seek a drier climate, and spent some time in Algeria.Plunkett was a promising poet and a close friend of Thomas MacDonagh, with whom he co-edited The Irish Review. He joined the IRB and the Irish Volunteers, and became director of military operations, though he had no significant military experience. He drew up the military strategy for the Rising, based on occupying and holding strategic buildings. As the Rising approached his illness worsened, and in early 1916 he underwent surgery on glands in his throat. He left a convalescent home to take his place in the GPO, where his aide-de-camp was Michael Collins. Afterwards he was tried by court-martial and sentenced to death. He married his friend Grace Gifford in a cell in Kilmainham Jail, on the eve of his execution on 4 May 1916. He was not yet 30 when he died, though he could scarcely have lived much longer in any case.These early family letters and notes date from a period of his life (1908-1912) for which there is little first-hand evidence. They are written without reserve, to his ‘dearest Mums’, to whom he was evidently very close. They very well illustrate his attractive character, his fluency and wit, his adventurous spirit and a complete absence of self-pity. To the best of our knowledge they are unpublished, though other material from the period is quoted in Geraldine Plunkett Dillon’s memoir All In The Blood.JOSEPH MARY PLUNKETT [1887-1916]An autograph signed note dated 23 May [19]08, on paper of Stonyhurst College, 1 pp, signed ‘Joseph’, addressed to ‘Dearest Mums’. ‘I got your post card. Hope you’ve had a good time & are not tired. I am quite well & so is G. I wrote to White. Have to catch the post now.’ With a P.T.O. in bold letters at foot of page, but there is nothing overleaf. Perhaps there was a second page, not now present.
