Approx. 28 pages filled with neat ink manuscript entries illustrated with four small original sepia photos and a hand-drawn folded map tipped to inside of front cover. Covers a little worn contents age-toned but entirely legible.<br /> <br /> § A delightfully detailed record of an amusingly rushed school trip to Ireland made by an English schoolboy in 1913. The boys and several masters departed from Stonehouse in Gloucestershire it seems likely they attended Wycliffe College prep school and travelled by train to Fishguard in Wales and from there by boat to Rosslare Harbour in Country Wexford Ireland. Then by train char-a-banc a governess cart ponies and finally boats they tore across the south of Ireland to Killarney and back in a single day. The dutiful author of the journal prepares for the trip with several lists: "General time-table" "List of required articles" including "change of socks.cup soup-plate. rug if room" "Things to be noticed" Waterford Harbour Mountains Lakes Cattle Grazing. and a very thorough plan for "Meals" cornflakes chocolate bananas squashed fly biscuits. The journal itself is neatly written and full of detail particularly of the various vehicles Irish trains get a thorough review and his glimpses of "real Ireland". Four small mounted photos show a bridge in Kerry viewed from a boat Ross Castle "A Jaunting Bar" a kind of horse-drawn carriage and happily "the Author" who appears to be in his early teens. The star of the journal is a large folding map of the trip carefully hand-drawn and keyed and mounted inside the front cover. unknown

191526775New York 1915. Irish propaganda targeting the British during W.W.I. from the Irish World of January 30 1915. During W.W.I the struggle for Irish independence was suspended with the Nationalist forces splitting over support of the war. This handbill appears to be an effort to incite hatred of the British with racist descriptions of Fijian soldiers "the cannibals we may say" who fought for the British. There is a clear preference for Germany - "And these are the savages the cannibals we may say whom Britain is bringing over to fight the most enlightened nation of Melancthon and SchlegeL of Kant. of Mozart and Beethoven and Wagner of Goethe and Heine." <br /> <br /> The text characterized the Fijians as cannibals "dark copper colored have black eyes and bushy hair worn in the form of a mop" short stature protruding stomachs legs bowed and feet flat and usually nude. The photograph shows the Fijian soldiers standing at attention behind a British Officer photo by Paul Thompson. <br /> <br /> The text of the handbill is extracted from The Irish World and American Industrial Liberator published in New York between 1878-1951. Hand bill 9 x 7 3/4" printed in blue on cream paper verso blank. Creased with marginal tears and small margin loss. <br /> <br /> Unrecorded on OCLC although there is a W.W.I poster with the title "Civilization Vs. Barbarism" 1914 but associated with Red Cross Week. OCLC: 894257435. unknown

4438Private / Draft / 25 Oct. 1904". Wyndham Statesman and man of letters at the time of this letter Chief Secretary fo Ireland see DNB. Three pages 4to good condition draft with much working over. He appreciates being given detailed grounds for a proposal that Sir Anthony Macdonnell MacDonnell Antony Patrick Baron MacDonnell statesman of Irish origin currently working with Wyndham in Ireland might be made available in the Indian Council a matter of urgency. He explains at length his high opinion of Macdonnell energy ability distinction etc. and his reluctance to part with him. "He is truly remarkable for his administrative capacity: indefatigable quick loyal to me and his chief and impartial in his attaitude towards all creeds and classes." But he has been attacked continuously mor than any public servant except Milner - "without foundation justification or even excuse" though he does speculate why. His service in India are knowledge are discussed. He then discusses Macdonnell current status and remebers that he had persuaded "Sir Anthony to embark on what is always a thankless task." "There is I admit another side to my last argument. When Sir Anthony came here - before the final controversy had absorbed all political interest before the persitent depression of public credit rendered almost all legislation impossible - I entertained & imparted to him the hope that we might follow up the Land Act with other Irish reforms. But most reforms - especially of the Poor Law of primary & secondary education of the Labourers Act etc - demand time from Parliament & credit. So that I now feel I persuaded him to come here under false pretences . . . . ." Note: This draft letter reflects the difficulties Macdonnell encountered when nudging through some form of devolution. Wyndham is revealing of his thought processes as he struggles through re-working to express himself. See entries in DNB for Wyndham and Macdonnell's activities in Ireland at this time. WITH: four-page incomplete"Private" letter from Lord Curzon italic typing with manuscript words in gaps or additions/corrections 24 Oct. 1904 discussing the situation of Macdonnell with relation to the India Council - appointed to do a job not go on indefinite leave. He explains their need for him and his intention originally to press for his release from Ireland. But he now sees his requirement as "a golden bridge" taking Macdonnell out of a difficult situation. "I do not for a moment suggest that all or a hundredth part of what is attributed to Macdonnell is true. But you know Ireland so well that the fact it is believed by all Unionists certainly invalidates the authority of the Governemnt . . ." He suggest that Wyndham write Macdonnell a diplomatic letter. In fact Macdonnell opted to stay in Ireland where the DNB claims he did good work. Macdonnell was praised for his role as Curzon's deputy in India before he went to Ireland. AND: Copy letter signed "St John Brodrick" = Secretary of State for India to George Wyndham with printed heading "Chief Secretary's Lodge Phoenix park Dublin" but also in manuscript "India Office 24 Oct. 1904". This is the letter to which Wyndham's draft above responds. Private / Draft / 25 Oct. 1904". unknown
