(2)The Bulletin contains De Valera's well-known message on the death of Liam Lynch, military commander of the anti-Treaty forces, urging the Soldiers of the Republic to renew their pledges of devotion. ''You have to fling yourselves across the path of the stampede of a nation. But it is better to die nobly, as your chief has died, than to live a slave''. In spite of this ringing message, Lynch's death marked the effective end of the Civil War. Republican forces were ordered to cease offensive action two weeks later, and to dump their arms the following month. It is highly significant that in this document, and in the Republican Cease Fire Order issued on 27 April 1923, de Valera referred to himself as President of the Republic. This title derived from the reconvening of the Second Dail Eireann on 25 October 1922, and the appointment by de Valera of a Council of State and a Cabinet to contest the legitimacy of the Free State.

Lot 270 De Valera, Eamon A Proclamation to the People of Ireland. Broadside, single sheet, 33 x 20cm, printed one side only. Dated Dublin, October 10th, 1921. On laid and watermarked paper. Important and very rare. This is a document of historic significance and prophetic quality, dated the day before the Treaty talks were to open in London. It appeals for calm and unity during the talks, and warns against 'foolish hopes' of an easy settlement. Addressed to 'Fellow Citizens', the document begins by stressing the non-negotiable nature of the Irish claim to nationhood. ''The only peace that, in the very nature of things, can end this struggle will be a peace consistent with the Nation's right and guaranteeing a freedom worthy of the sufferings endured to secure it. Such a peace will not be easy to obtain. The claim that conflicts with Ireland's right has been ruthlessly persisted in through centuries of blood. It seems unlikely that this claim will be abandoned now. By an heroic endurance of suffering, Ireland has gained the position she holds. Were the prospect of further horrors or further sacrifices to cause her to quail or falter for a moment, all would again be lost. The threats that could force surrender in one vital particular would be relied on to force surrender in another and another till all were gone. The power against us will use every artifice it knows in the hope of dispiriting, dividing, weakening us. We must all beware. The unity that is essential will best be maintained by an unwavering faith in those who have been deputed to act in the Nation's behalf, and a confidence manifesting itself as hitherto in eloquent discipline. For this I appeal''. (Signed) EAMON DE VALERA at end of document. This document forms part of a carefully co-ordinated strategy by De Valera and the Dail Cabinet. On 7 October the Irish plenipotentiaries, Arthur Griffith, Michael Collins, Robert Barton, Eamon Duggan and Gavan Duffy, were given their credentials and instructions; on 8 October they sailed for England; on 10 October this Proclamation was issued to the people of Ireland ('Fellow Citizens') and, at the same time, Erskine Childers and John Chartres, secretaries to the delegation, confirmed the procedures for the conference with their English counterparts; on 11 October 1921 the first Plenary Conference took place at 10 Downing Street. We can find few references to this document in the standard works on the period, although it clearly has an important bearing on the question of De Valera's approach to the talks. It is quoted in part in Macardle, but is not mentioned in Pakenham, Longford & O'Neill, Coogan ('De Valera') or Fanning ('Documents on Irish Foreign Policy 1919-22').

Dillon was the last Chairman of the Irish Party, and the last ex- Parnellite active in Irish politics. A supporter of Michael Davitt and the Land League, he supported the Home Rule Bill of 1912, opposed conscription, and condemned the 1916 executions in the strongest terms (''You have let Hell loose in Ireland'', he wrote to Lloyd George). He was committed to achieving Home Rule by constitutional means, but found his position undermined by British policy in Ireland. In March 1918 he succeeded John Redmond as Irish Party leader, but in the General Election of that year his party was wiped out by Sinn Féin, and he lost his own seat in Mayo to Eamon de Valera. The present pamphlet is effectively his farewell to public life.

Each a single printed sheet, sizes vary, first three printed one side only, others printed both sides. (8) Although De Valera ordered Republicans to dump their arms in April 1923, hundreds of Republican prisoners were still detained in poor conditions through the summer and autumn. In October 1923, over 400 men in Mountjoy Jail went on hunger strike seeking unconditional release. Prisoners in other jails (including women) joined the strike, and it became a major national confrontation. The Free State Government refused to yield, and two men died before the strike was called off after 41 days (after an appeal by Cardinal Logue). These daily bulletins are very rare. They include brief biographies of men thought to be close to death, including Ernie O’Malley and Brian O’Higgins. No. 24 includes news of the first death (Denis Barry of Cork). No. 27 carries the news of the end of the strike; also the second death (Andy O’Sullivan of Mallow). The final issue includes a reassessment of Republican policy. "The cessation of warfare does not mean acceptance of the Free State. Though armed resistance was, and is, constitutional, it is no longer expedient. It has been definitely abandoned, and passive non-military resistance takes its place".

By Alice Furlong and Alice Milligan. All very good. (4). Fr. O'Flanagan was an active supporter of the independence movement from the early days of Sinn Féin, and played a large part in the crucial election campaign of 1918. He remained with the purists after the Treaty, and led the opposition at the Sinn Féin Ardfheis of 1925 to De Valera’s proposal for a flexible approach to the Oath. He was often in trouble with his religious superiors, and his priestly functions were suspended for a time. His other activities included the publication of John O’Donovan’s Ordnance Survey Letters. This pamphlet by Sceilg, (J.J. O'Kelly), his friend for over forty years, makes special mention of his time in America and Australia and of his suspension by the Church authorities.

Lot 303 Ó'Ceallaigh, Seán - J. J. O'Kelly - Sceilg: The Claim of the Irish Republic. Statement submitted to Frank B.

Canon William O'Kennedy [President of St. Flannan's College, and Treasurer of the Dail Loan for East Clare], Foreword by Mons. M. Hamilton. Tralee, 1962. 16 pp. Illustrated wrappers. With: Imaginary Happenings. Published by Brian O'Higgins at The Irish Book Bureau, 1940. With: The Republic of Ireland Addresses His Holiness, The Pope. Issued by Sinn Féin Standing Committee, 1929. (4) The Claim of the Irish Republic statement was signed by Sean Ua Ceallaigh, J.J. O'Kelly's, pen name, Sceilg (1872-1957). He signed as Chairman of Dáil Éireann. This Dail Éireann was the illegal Second Dail Eireann reconvened by de Valera in 1922 and abandoned by him in 1927 after he had founded the Fianna Fail Party. Those who remained in this Dail Eireann and in the Sinn Féin Party after the departure of de Valera attempted to justify the all-Ireland republican policy of 1919 against the claims of both the Free State and British governments. This appeal to Frank B. Kellogg, the American Secretary of State, was part of that policy. Similar statements were presented to Ramsay MacDonald, Prime Minister of England, in August 1929 and to the Pope in December 1929. Finally, in 1938 this body of Dail Éireann delegated its authority to the Army Council of the IRA. This statement, therefore, provides a rare insight into a particular republican ideology.

Lot 304 Ó'Cathasaigh, Sean. Songs of the Wren - Humorous and Sentimental - New Series No I. Dublin, Fergus O'Connor, circa 1918. Octavo. 8 pp. Original printed wrappers. Some browning to extremities but otherwise a very good copy of this rare early work by a leading Irish dramatist of the 20th Century. Sean O'Casey (1880-1964), playwright, born in Dublin into a working class family and christened John Casey. His father's death in 1886 plunged the family into poverty. Self-educated, he was deeply involved in the Labour Movement and took part in the 'Lock-Out' strike of 1913. He was secretary of the Irish Citizen Army under James Connolly, but left when it moved closer to a Republican position. Encouraged by Lady Gregory, he began to submit plays to the Abbey Theatre; and after some years success came with the production of 'The Shadow of a Gunman' (1923), which marked him as the new great voice of Irish theatre. In 1926 he left for London to become a full time writer. His next play 'The Silver Tassie' was rejected by the Abbey. This was a bitter blow to O'Casey and estranged him from the directors.
