The Complete Works

Shaw (George Bernard) The Works of George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), 31 volumes - Set “Y”, Published by
Constable and Co. London and Printed by R & R Clarke of Edinburgh, 1930 - 1932,. All First Edns., in orig. green
cloth, lettered in gilt. One of only 1,025 copies printed. The 1,000 copies to be numbered 1 to 1,000. The other 25
numbered A to Y of which this is set Y inscribed personally by Shaw.

Volume 1 of the set is inscribed by Shaw to James Morton who was responsible for the green dye used for the cover
cloth of the edition. It reads “This is number Y and its dress of eternal green is the work of James Morton to whom it is
gratefully inscribed by Bernard Shaw” and dated 26th July 1930.

This “Y” set was presented by Shaw to James (later Sir James) Morton FRSE, LLD 1867 - 1943.

He was the 2nd son of Alexander Morton, founder of “Alexander Morton & Co.” weavers. He was trained as a Chemist
and specialized in permanent light-fast dyes. In 1929 he was the first recipient of the Faraday Centennial Medal in
recognition of his advances in making permanent fade-proof dyes. He was knighted in June 1936. He worked directly
with Shaw and his publishers to achieve the “green” colour of the cover cloth which was so important to Shaw.

Provenance: From the granddaughter of James Morton by descent. €1000 - 1500

Crofton Archive

A Collection of Architectural Drawings, Maps, Religious Manuscripts, and miscellaneous Estate Papers of the
Crofton Family of Inchanappa House, Co. Wicklow, c. 1789 - 1900.

The Inchanappa estate, together with lands in counties Cork and Monaghan, belonged in the 18th century to the
Earbery family. Mathias Earbery (1734-1779), MP for Lanesborough 1768-76, married Elizabeth Barbara, daughter
of Major Henry Crofton, and was father of Christopher Henry Earbery (1764-1818), who died leaving two daughters.
The younger, Marcia Anastasia, married the Rev. Henry William Crofton (1795-1862), third son of Sir Hugh Crofton of
Mohill, Co. Leitrim, 2nd Bart, who thus acquired the Earbery estates.
The couple had no children and after her death Crofton married in 1840 Marianne Amelia Cazalet (died 1847) and
thirdly in 1852 Frances, daughter of Robert Westropp of Fort Anne, Co. Cork. The Inchanappa line continued through
Henry William’s son by his second wife, Henry Morgan Earbery Crofton (1840-1878), and the latter’s son Henry
William George Crofton, a major in the East Surrey Regiment, who was killed in the South African war in 1902.

An important early 18th Century miniature Dutch Museum in a Bottle, depicting the ‘Felix Meritis’
Building in Amsterdam, a three storey red brick classical building with stacked roof, crested triangular
centre surrounded by balustrades, the front with five bay windows over three floors, the centre set with
domed windows and half classical columns, with typical fanlight door, with figures gathered outside in
period attire. All contained inside a glass bottle, approx. 33cms (13”) high. (1)
Note: It was built according to a winning design by the architect Jacob Otten Husly for the new society
called Felix Meritis established in 1776 for Music, Drawing, Physics, Commerce and Literature in the
modern neo-classical style. Husly had won a similar design contest for the city hall of Groningen in the
previous year. The building itself was meant to exemplify the Enlightenment ideals the society stood for.
The classical temple façade with its colossal Corinthian pilasters and pediment represent the society’s
five departments with five sculptures representing the visual arts and architecture, literature, trade, natural
sciences and music. The interior includes original 18th-century features such as the central staircase, the
oval concert hall (renowned for its acoustics) and the domed roof - underneath which there used to be an
astronomical observatory.
On 31 October 1788 the building of the same name opened its doors. The society focused on the
promotion of arts and sciences in a broader sense than the artists’ collectives popular at the time. Husly
was himself a board member of the Amsterdam city drawing academy Stadstekenacademie, that had close
contacts with the Oeconomischen Tak van de Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen (economics
branch of the Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, which met in the Trippenhuis). The society
was abolished in 1888.
Felix Meritis’ oval concert hall was the main music hall in Amsterdam until late into the 19th century and
enjoyed a great international reputation. Many famous musicians performed there, including Robert and
Clara Schumann, Camille Saint-Saëns, Johannes Brahms and Julius Röntgen. The orchestra of Felix
Meritis was regarded as the best of the Netherlands and accompanied many Dutch premieres, directed
by conductors such as Johannes Bernardus van Bree. Thus, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony and Berlioz’s
Symphonie fantastique had their Dutch premiere in the concert hall of Felix Meritis. The small hall of the
Concertgebouw is a replica of this concert hall. €3000 - 4000

Plunket (Most Rev. Lord William Conyngham, DD, Bishop of Meath).

Conversion -- a Turning from Sin to God. A Sermon Preached in
Castlejordan Church, Oct. 31, 1877. Published by request, for circulation
among Parishioners. D. 1877, printed wrappers, 20 pp, stitched. Inscribed
on t.p. to the Bishop of Gibraltar, ‘with the author’s kind regards / Cannes
Nov . 1’ [with] Our Oneness in Christ. A Sermon Preached at the opening
of the Reading Church Congress .. Oct. 2nd 1883. D. 1884, printed wrs, 18
pp, stitched. Inscribed on t.p. ‘From the Author’.

Lord Plunket, the fourth Baron, was a nephew and close colleague of
Thomas Plunket, the evangelical (i.e. proselytising) Bishop of Tuam, Killala
and Achonry, who was centrally involved in bitter religious controversies in
Galway and Mayo. The younger man formed a close friendship with the
arch-evangelical Alexander Dallas, joined the Irish Church Missions Society,
and helped to set up a West Connaught Endowment Fund (see D.I.B.). He
married a daughter of Benjamin Lee Guinness, and was appointed to St.
Patrick’s Cathedral, then being restored with Guinness money.
In 1876 he became Bishop of Meath, and in 1884 Dean of Christ Church
and Archbishop of Dublin. He still saw the Catholic Church as ‘a house built
on the sand. And when the winds beat on it, it must fall, and the fall of that
house will be great!’ (see the second sermon here, p. 7). (2) €120 - 180

The sky with clouds was overcast

The rain began to fall
My wife she whipped the children
Who raised a pretty squall.
She bade me with a frowning look
To get out of her way.
Oh the deuce a bit of comfort here
Upon a washing day.

For tis thump, thump, scrub, scrub

Scold, scold away
Oh the deuce a bit of comfort here
Upon a washing day.

My Kate she is a bonny wife

There’s none so free from evil
Unless upon a washing day
And then she is the Devil.
The very kittens in the hearth
They dare not even play
Away they jump with many a thump
Upon a washing day.

I wrote a friend who asked of me

How long’s poor Kate been dead
Lamenting the good creature gone
And sorry I was wed
To such a scolding vixen while
He had been far away
The truth it was he chanced to come
Upon a washing day.

Archive of the Medlicott Family of Dunmurry, Co. Kildare

In 1714 George Medlicott, youngest son of Thomas Medlicott, a London barrister and MP for Abingdon in Berkshire,
acquired an estate at Dunmurry, Co. Kildare, and Dunmurry remained the seat of his descendants until it was sold in
1955. The papers in this archive date mainly from the period 1850 to 1950 and form a valuable insight into the running
of an Irish landed estate during those troubled times. They include:
•Folder containing a few early items, 1812-1847
•Ledger giving details of farm and household income and expenses from 1848 to 1855. Bound in ¼ calf. 37.5 x
15.5 cm.
•Marriage settlement of James Edward Medlicott of Dunmurry with Margaret Davidson on 11 October 1859. 3
large membranes.
•Bundles of bills, receipts, business letters, etc, c
1850 to 1950.
•House account book, Dunmurry, Sept 1920 to Sept
1921. 16 x 10 cm.
•“Farm account book”. Contains only 4 pp of farm
accounts, for January and February 1927.
(The rest is taken up with lists of film actors,
and answers to quizzes, and scores.)
•Folio diary for 1946, with many insertions - bills
etc.
•“County of Kildare. Half-yearly statement for the
half-year ended 31st March 1901. Including
abstracts of proposals for payments, and also
for new works or involving new contracts …”
Approx 200 pp.

•Edward James Medlicott diary 1942 (but in vol for
1941)
•Althea Medlicott’s chicken diary 1947 (Jan to May
only)
•39 small diaries, all 11 x 8 cm, covering most of
the years between 1870 and 1917; diaries for
1920 and 1932 (mostly blank) and one other
There is also a file on the Bombay, Baroda and Central India Railway, including a diagram showing position of 60-feet
girders renewed and to be renewed from Bombay to Wadhwan (dated in MS 1.7.[18]98. 21 x 34 cm. 6 ff on cloth,
interleaved with paper).
Also a number of personal letters, including one from a daughter Mary written as a small child:
MY DEAR PAPA I LOVE YOO VERY MUCH, I HOPE I WILL SOON COME BACK TO YOU. HOW IS
WEEWEE? THE WAVES ARE VERY ROUGH TODAY. I WAS OUT THIS MORNING BUT IT BEGAN TO
RAIN. YOUR LITTLE MARY.
Some of the letters deal with a family crisis involving James Edward Medlicott (1827-1913) during which his wife
Margaret went to live in Dublin, whence she writes, with many underlinings (for example):
“One word more. Do not dread exposure. As long I am so openly on good terms with you, there will be no
exposure, because you must not pay hush money. Only do tell me how you were drawn in and when? Why
did you not cut her in ‘77? Do say if you pay any one else. Do! I can bear all now. Remember you are very
terribly laughed at about that vulgar brute E. Farrell. Take care, be more circumspect - more dignified. Don’t
make those vile jokes. And above all, don’t joke with Mary Anne, Andy’s sister. Remember it would be all
over this place if you do. For I shall at once dismiss her. Now be brave and true and tell me all. Your loving
wife MM. But very very unhappy wife. I am determined not to be put off with words but must have all broken
off from this day. Write in your own name to Mrs Cassidy and say you give up the house now - God help you.”

Important Quaker Medical Manuscripts

Quaker Interest: Leadbeater (Mary) 1758-1826 - Two Manuscript Volumes containing Receipts for Herbal
Prescriptions.

Mary Leadbeater, daughter of Richard Shackleton, was born at Ballitore, Co. Kildare, Ireland, in a Quaker family. She
was quite thoroughly educated, and was aided in her literary studies by the noted Aldborough Wrighton, a man of
great ability. Her grandfather, Abraham Shackleton, was Edmund Burke’s schoolmaster; and she, with her Father,
visited Burke in London where she also became acquainted with Sir. J. Reynolds and George Crabbe. During her
life she earned a reputation as a writer, with several publications: Poems (1808); Cottage Dialogues among the Irish
Peasantry (1811); and perhaps her finest work, Annals of Ballitore (published 1862 as The Leadbeater Papers by R.D.
Webb). Throughout her career she remained a close friend and correspondent of Burke.

The two books contain 796 and 496 receipts for medicines that describe Mrs. Leadbeater as an accomplished
Herbalist. The prescriptions are carefully written with ink in her hand; both volumes are 15 ½ x 19 ½ cms in size and
are bound in green vellum. The more complete book, which is indexed, doubtless saw much use, and the spine, once
repaired with linen, is loose and the vellum stained. The text in both volumes is quite well preserved. Here one may
find a tried and true cure for The King’s Evil; An extraordinary Cure for Pains; Ointment of Marshmallows; Snail Syrup;
an Elder-tea for St. Anthony’s Fire; cures for colds, for cancers, for eye pearls and burns, for an ague or dropsy or
wind; and the forerunner to the aspirin tablet, an exotic (and infallible) receipt for Megrim in the Head:

Take Peacock’s Dung powdered: take as much as

will lie on a sixpence in a spoonful of white-
wine for three mornings together

Mrs. Leadbeater gleaned her medical information from a variety of sources: from friends, from newspaper articles
and advertisements, etc., and frequently a receipt bears an ascription, e.g., Daffy’s Elixir; Doctor Fothergill’s Aloetic
Tincture for complaints of a gouty nature; Ruffy’s Pills; a cure for Lunacy from the Farmer’s Journal 1825, etc.

Also included are several remedies for diseases of sheep and cattle and some 25 cures for a variety of injuries and
illnesses in horses. For example:

For a Horse that’s very ill by Cold: Take two

Quartes of Ale, half an ounce Diapenthe half
an ounce Anise-seeds, half an ounce Elecampane
powder, half an ounce sulphur brimstone, some
grains of Paradise near half an ounce:
dissolve & warm it & give the Horse to drink.

Should you need to make a horse lie down, the way to do it is:

Take half an ounce of Tobacco-Snuff & mix with Hog’s-

Grease, & rub on the Back-bone (of the horse)

Finally, Mrs. Leadbeater has recorded several miscellaneous bits of information: directions for making cold-cream,
opium, rhubarb powder and shoe blacking (which includes half a pint of beer); how to wash flannel and white silk-
handkerchiefs, how to concoct various mineral waters and pomades; and a glorious panacea.

Although the actual medicinal properties of the receipts must be considered with scepticism, the two volumes by Mr.
Burke’s good friend contain much of charm and interest.

Leaflet advertising the “pact election” of 1922

A leaflet issued for the Kildare-Wicklow constituency, urging the electors to

vote for the National Sinn Féin Coalition Panel.
The election for the third Dáil was the first to take place after the ratification
of the Treaty, and Sinn Féin had already split into pro- and anti-Treaty
factions. On 20 May Collins and de Valera announced the formation of a
pact whereby Sinn Féin would contest the election as one party - hence the
publication of this leaflet. In the event, the two factions campaigned against
each other.
In Kildare-Wicklow there were five seats, and the Panel put up five
candidates - the outgoing TDs Robert Barton, Daniel Buckley, Christopher
Byrne, Robert Childers and Arthur O’Connor. The election took place on
16 June. Byrne, the only pro-Treaty candidate, headed the poll, and Barton
secured the fifth seat; the others were unsuccessful. (1) €150 - 200

Terence MacSwiney’s Paper

mostly 4 pp (one double number). Fine copies. (1)

Edited, financed and mainly written by Terence MacSwiney, later Lord

Mayor of Cork, whose death on hunger strike in 1920 was a turning point
in the independence struggle. Its main purpose was to support the Irish
Volunteers, and to oppose Irish recruitment to the British Army at the start of
the First World War. It reports the Volunteer controversy with Redmond in
detail. It was suppressed after the eleventh issue, which reports a promise
of German support for Irish freedom given to Roger Casement in Berlin. It
did not circulate outside Cork, and complete sets are rare.

After the paper was suppressed, MacSwiney sold his books to pay the
printer’s bill. He died on hunger strike some six years later. His centenary
occurs this coming October. €150 - 200

Terence MacSwiney (1879-1920) was a founder of the Irish Volunteers

in Cork, and was one of its officers at Easter 1916, when they were
outmanoeuvred by the British military, who stationed artillery on high points
around the city centre before the Volunteers could move.

Elected to the first Dail, MacSwiney succeeded the murdered Tomás

MacCurtain as Lord Mayor of Cork in March 1920. In late August he
was jailed for two years for possession of confidential documents, and
immediately went on hunger strike. He died in Brixton Prison on the 74th day
of his fast, 24 October 1920. His funeral cortege was led through the streets
of London by Archbishop Daniel Mannix of Melbourne, who was in London
because the British Government had refused to allow him to travel to Ireland,
sending a destroyer to intercept the vessel on which he was travelling.

A Fateful Document

‘The Murder Members’ a single folio sheet, verso blank, stating The
following are the names of the members of the Partition Parliament who
voted for the Murder Bill, and listing 56 names in two columns, including
W.T. Cosgrave, Desmond Fitzgerald, Richard Mulcahy, Michael Staines,
Padraig O’Maille, Dr. James Crowley, Sean McKeon, Ernest Blythe, Sean
Milroy, Sean McGarry, Joseph McGrath, Sir James Craig, Pierce Beasley,
Kevin O’Higgins, Alec. McCabe, etc., and concluding Keep This List For
Reference. Beside the name of Dr. James Crowley, a contemporary
hand has written Con’s Doctor - presumably a reference to Constance de
Markiewicz. (1)

A fateful document. The Murder Bill, so-called, was an Act of the Free
State parliament which authorised sentence of death upon those taken with
arms. Soon after this document was issued, gunmen opened fire on Pádraig
Ó Maille TD, deputy Speaker of the Dail, in a Dublin street while he was on
his way to the Dail with another TD, Sean Hales, Ó Máille was wounded,
and Hales - whose name is not on this list - was shot dead, apparently in
mistake for another. In reprisal for these shootings, and in fear for their
own lives, the Free State cabinet ordered the summary execution of four
Republican prisoners detained since the seizure of the Four Courts, Rory
O’Connor, Liam Mellows,Dick Barrett and Joseph McKelvey, entirely without
any legal process or justification.

The present document is very rare. Fold marks, a few minor marginal tears,
