Bound as described in Wade 29: mottled blue paper boards with buff linen spine, lettered in black on front cover, with a label, printed in black, pasted on the spine.. Pp. viii + 108 [+ 2 blank]. (unsigned) Pages 15-16 wanting; some pages are loose and the whole is in fairly frail condition. Provenance: R. A. Gekoski, London, Catalogue 32, no. 48: “The Wind Among the Reeds, Elkin Mathews, London, 1903. Fourth edition. Illustrated throughout with fourteen original sketches and drawings by people associated with Yeats and Elkin Mathews, including two pen-and-ink drawing by Jack B. Yeats, two watercolours by George Russell (signed "AE"), Lily Yeats (signed and dated Dublin September 1903), Ruth Pollexfen (dated 1903), E. Ahern, F.P. Fitz-Gerald and others (identified by initials only: M.J.H, L.W.C, and others). There is an elegant tailpiece painting of a Jack B. Yeats subject of a hunter jumping a stream, though most probably not by him. Presumably there was some intention to issue an illustrated edition, but to our knowledge no such was ever issued. Professor Warwick Gould speculates that the work was done in both Dublin and London, and presumes it was for some further edition. As far as we can discover, Elkin Mathews didn't publish the book again after this, the fourth, edition. Pp. 15-16 missing; several pages disbound but inserted in scruffy original boards, otherwise good, and fascinating, copy.” There are in all fifteen illustrations, added, as follows: 1. half-title. Photo of the Sargent portrait of WBY pasted in; beneath it in pencil, “charcoal by John Singer Sargent”. 2. p. vii at end of contents. Ink drawing: stone breakwater, harbor, islands with trees, birds flying in formation. Signed with Jack B. Yeats’s monogram “JBY”. 3. p. viii, facing p. 1. Head in profile with swirling hair. Signed “M.J.H.” 4. p. 3. At the end of “The Everlasting Voices”, a drawing pasted in; black ink with blue and yellow: silhouette of town across water, two-masted schooner at anchor, rooftop with two brick chimneys in foreground. Signed “L.W.C.” 5. p. 4. At the beginning of “The Moods”, historiated red initial T in watercolours: in the background are “candle burnt out” and “mountains and woods”. 6. p. 7. Occupying most of the first page of “The Host of the Air”, a drawing in blue/gray wash: landscape of trees and reeds at the edge of a lake, birds flying across the water. Signed at lower left “E. Ahern”. 7. p. 10. Below and around “Bresal the Fisherman”, ink drawing of a dour, pipe-smoking fisherman sitting on nets on a dock, a boat tied up nearby, a gaff-rigged cutter sails beneath the crescent moon. Signed: :F. P. Fitz-Gerald”. 8. p. 19. At the end of “The Fiddler of Dooney”, portrait bust in black ink of a man in a hat. Signed “Jack B. Yeats”. 9. p. 36. At the end of “The Valley of the Black Pig”, a full-page watercolour drawing illustrating “the still stars and the flaming door”: a man in hat with walking stick seated on rock wall and looking out to sea; stars above and in the background a Stonehenge-like rock construct and a pink mountain. Signed “AE” [George Russell]. 10. p. 41. At end of “Aedh Tells of a Valley Full of Lovers” a watercolour drawing of a recumbent dreamer across the bottom with a vine at his head and in background woods, valley, hills, and several pairs of lovers. Signed “Oct 2nd” with the monogram “MCY” of Jack’s wife, Mary Cottenham [Cottie] Yeats. 11. p. 43. Above “Aedh Hears the Cry of the Sedge”, a watercolour drawing with a figure standing above a long spit of land in the “desolate lake” Signed “A.E.” [George Russell]; the style fits Russell but the monogram, with periods after the letters, may be in another hand. 12. p. 48.

  • Views Before That August Body and the Parliament Which Was Back of It, in Hopes That He Might Inñuence the Final Form of the Church Discipline
    1936.] Report of the Librarian 153 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN THE USE OF THE LIBRARY TN accepting membership in the American Anti- -•• quarian Society in 1915, the Right Honorable Sir George Otto Trevelyan, distinguished historian of the American Revolution, said: "Recognition from such a body as the American Antiquarian Society has for me a value of a rare character. I shall never see Worcester or enter the Library in which henceforth I should have the privilege of reading but I accept the position of membership with gratitude and pleasure." Many other English and Continental scholars have been more fortunate than Sir George and have spent happy and profitable hours within these walls. This summer as never before our reading room has, at times, been thronged with historical students occupying every available seat. The follower of the curious hobby of license plate hunting would have been richly re- warded by an examination of the cars parked about our building, for he would have found plates from almost every state in the union in the course of a few midsummer visits. As soon as the last college class has been dismissed many a historian packs his travelling bag and the notes for his forthcoming volume and turns the prow of his trusty car toward Worcester. The subjects of their inquiries are of infinite variety and all of their problems are interesting. A scholar from the University of Kansas wished to know when aerial photography began and was delighted when we produced a balloon photograph of Boston taken, believe it or not, in 1860.

  • Making Their Mark 17
    Making Their Mark 17 A CELEBRATION OF GREAT WOMEN ARTISTS Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats, in a 1901 portrait by Photograph of Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats (left) and Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats (right). Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats, in an 1887 Jack Butler Yeats. National Gallery of Ireland. portrait by Jack Butler Yeats. Sisters Susan Mary "Lily" Yeats (1866-1949, above, left) and Elizabeth Corbet "Lolly" Yeats (1868-1940, above, right) were pivotal figures in the advancement of the Arts and Crafts style in Ireland. Founded in England by the British designer William Morris, the Arts and Crafts Movement advocated traditional, handcrafted objects as a rebellion against soulless factory-made furnishings. The Yeats sisters were from a preeminent Irish family--their father John and brother Jack were noted painters, and their other brother was the renowned poet William Butler Yeats. Born in Enniscrone, County Sligo, Ireland, Lily Yeats was a frequent visitor to William Morris when her family moved to London in the 1870s; she would learn embroidery from his daughter, May Morris. Younger sister Lolly Yeats, also in the Morris circle, was more interested in painting and printing; by the end of the century she had written and illustrated four instructional books on sketching directly with a brush. Upon returning to Ireland, both sisters would co-found the Dun Emer Guild, a Arts and Crafts group in Dublin managed and staffed entirely by women, with the textile designer Evelyn Gleeson (1855-1944). Guilds, as opposed to factories, were a return to the Medieval and Renaissance guilds that once served as the primary centers of art production.

  • A Book of Irish Verse
    A BOOK OF IRISH VERSE W.B. YEATS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE NATIONAL LITERARY SOCIETY OF DUBLIN AND THE IRISH LITERARY SOCIETY OF LONDON PREFACE I HAVE not found it possible to revise this book as completely as I should have wished. I have corrected a bad mistake of a copyist, and added a few pages of new verses towards the end, and softened some phrases in the introduction which seemed a little petulant in form, and written in a few more to describe writers who have appeared during the last four years, and that is about all. I compiled it towards the end of a long indignant argument, carried on in the committee rooms of our literary societies, and in certain newspapers between a few writers of our new movement, who judged Irish literature by literary standards, and a number of people, a few of whom were writers, who judged it by its patriotism and by its political effect; and I hope my opinions may have value as part of an argument which may awaken again. The Young Ireland writers wrote to give the peasantry a literature in English in place of the literature they were losing with Gaelic, and these methods, which have shaped the literary thought of Ireland to our time, could not be the same as the methods of a movement which, so far as it is more than an instinctive expression of certain moods of the soul, endeavours to create a reading class among the more leisured classes, which will preoccupy itself with Ireland and the needs of Ireland.

  • The Celtic Awakening the Pathos of Distance
    The Celtic Awakening The pathos of distance ; a book of a thousand and one moments James Huneker 1913 • IRELAND “ Ireland, oh Ireland ! Centre of my longings. Country of my fathers, home of my heart ! Over seas you call me : Why an exile from me ? Wherefore sea-severed, long leagues apart ? “ As the shining salmon, homeless in the sea depths. Hears the river call him, scents out the land. Leaps and rejoices in the meeting of the waters, Breasts weir and torrent, nests him in the sand ; “ Lives there and loves, yet, with the year’s returning. Rusting in the river, pines for the sea, Sweeps back again to the ripple of the tideway, Roamer of the waters, vagabond and free. “ Wanderer am I like the salmon of the rivers ; London is my ocean, murmurous and deep. Tossing and vast ; yet through the roar of London Comes to me thy summons, calls me in sleep. “ Pearly are the skies in the country of my fathers. Purple are thy mountains, home of my heart. Mother of my yearning, love of all my longings, Keep me in remembrance, long leagues apart.” — Stephen Gwynn. • How dewy is the freshness and exquisite flavour of the newer Celtic poetry, from the more ambitious thunders of its epics to its tenderest lyric leafage ! It has been a veritable renascence. Simultaneously, there burst forth throughout Ireland a trilling of birdlike notes never before heard, and the choir has become more compact and augmented. Fiona Macleod told in luscious, melting prose her haunting tales ; beautiful Dora Sigerson sang of the roses that fade ; Katharine Tynan-Hinkson achieved at a bound the spun sweetness of music in her Larks.

  • Epilogue and Acknowledgments
    Epilogue and Acknowledgments On the afternoon of March 10, 2004, I posted a draft of the Introduction and Chapter 1 of this book on my weblog. I asked readers to let me know, preferably by email, if they noticed any factual errors. I also asked whether I’d missed any crucial top- ics, or whether they knew of some perfect anecdote that abso- lutely had to be included. They responded. One of the first emails alerted me to an incorrect web address, which I fixed immediately. Another pointed out a mistake in a section about open source software. Others suggested I amplify certain points, or asked why I discussed a particular topic, or that I slow down the narrative. The comments section of my weblog became a discussion about the book. The ideas I’ve been discussing in We the Media became inte- gral to the reporting and writing of the book itself. When I started, I didn’t really know what to expect. But I can say now, without any fear of contradiction, that this process has worked. Thank you, all. outline and ideas My version of open source journalism got off to a rocky start. In the early spring of 2003, I posted an outline of the book and invited comments by email. My inbox overflowed. 243 we the media Then a small disaster hit. I’d moved all the suggestions into a separate folder in my mailbox, but several months later, when I looked for them, they were gone. Vanished. Disappeared. I still don’t know if this was my doing or my Internet service pro- vider’s.
