About This Item
First Edition. London. 1896
"Romantic Ireland's dead and gone. It's with O'Leary in the grave" W.B. Yeats
The quotation from Yeats's poem, September 1913, references the author, a leading member of the Irish Republican Brotherhood who died in 1907.
The reminiscences are noteworthy for their portrayal of Stephens and other Fenian activists and for numerous acerbic comments on the adherents of the Land League and of Home Rule.
Two volumes, both in very good plus condition. Clean cloth bound boards. Gilt titles on spines (a little faded). Frontispiece on each volume of portraits of author and James Stephens with tissue guards.
Binding very good. Internally remarkably clean with some light spotting of free endpapers and pastedowns only. Edges untrimmed.
Only markings, previous sale prices and descriptions in pencil and name and address of a previous owner in ink on half title with a date of 1917. There is a bookseller stamp (Poole's, Waterford) on first blanks.
Two lovely, scarce, solid First Editions, both in very good plus condition.
More images available on request.
Heavy volumes weighing approx 1.5 kgs. Nevertheless, standard shipping cost will suffice.
