Profusely illustrated with plates and text illustrations. Publisher's olive green covers, front covers ruled in gilt with crest of the dioceses gilt embossed in centre. Scattered foxing to preliminary leaves, light water staining to upper margin of frontispiece plate of volume (3) otherwise a very good set. The first volume gives an overall history of the diocese from its pre-Christian Celtic origins through its various Bishops and Clergy. The other three volumes examine Ossory's parishes in detail. Each parish's buildings, churches, castles, monuments etc, are described and examined. Written between 1897 and 1903, one thousand sets were printed. The work was well received on its publication and although other diocesan histories exist, none match it for its scope and depth.

A Rare Copy of Swinburne Poems Illustrated & Inscribed by Harry Clarke* - Selected Poems of Algernon Charles Swinburne

A Rare Copy of Swinburne Poems Illustrated & Inscribed by Harry Clarke* – Selected Poems of Algernon Charles Swinburne, with Illustrations and Decorations by Harry Clarke and an Introduction by Humbert Wolfe.

Presentation copy Inscribed: "For my friend Lennox Robinson from Harry Clarke. Page 52 has an illustration intended for reproduction but not reproduced in any copy other than this and my own copy. March 7 1929." Clarke's note is referring to an illustration which accompanies the poem 'Aholibah.' This was omitted from other editions as judged to be too erotic. In his introduction Humbert Wolfe deliberately disassociates himself from Clarke's visual interpretation of Swinburne's work. Wolfe, an Italian-born British poet, was one of the most popular British authors of the 1920s. Harry Clarke was one of Ireland's greatest, and most controversial, modern artists. Emerging during the later phases of the literary and dramatic movement known as the Celtic Revival, he joined the ranks of literary greats W. B. Yates, J. M. Synge and Sean O'Casey in shaping the international reputation of Ireland as a modern sovereign state. Lennox Robinson was a major force in the Irish Literary Renaissance and Abbey Theatre his entire life.
