From the papers of Sylvia and Robert Lynd. A scarce piece of Pearse ephemera: no other copy traced. 1p, 12mo. On a piece of discoloured laid paper, worn, with crease to one corner. The full title of the book, which was edited by Desmond Ryan, was 'The story of a success, being a record of St. Enda's College, September 1908 to Easter 1916'. Reads, with manuscript additions in square brackets: '50 Lower Baggot Street, / DUBLIN, [15 11 ] 19[17.] / MAUNSEL & CO., Limited, have pleasure in sending herewith a copy of / [The Story of a Success / by / Padraic Pearse] / for Review, and will be grateful for a copy of the paper containing any notice that may appear. / Prices: Cloth, [3/6 act] Paper, / Date of Publication [19 11 17]'.

The context of the letter is explained in Maxwell's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'In the autumn of 1902 Maxwell was chosen by the duke of Connaught, then acting commander-in-chief in Ireland, as his chief staff officer at Dublin. There he remained until May 1904, when Connaught became inspector-general of the forces, and Maxwell followed him to London. At the end of 1907 Connaught was transferred to Malta as commander-in-chief and chief commissioner in the Mediterranean; Maxwell, promoted major-general at the end of 1906, once more accompanied him, and served with him until September 1908.' The recipient was either the army chaplain Rev. Henry Peverley Dodd, or a relation of his. 2pp, 4to. On first leaf of bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with blank second leaf slightly damaged. Folded once. Addressed to 'Dear Mr. Peverley Dodd'. Good firm stylized signature: 'Your truly. / J. E. Maxwell'. He begins by giving correct the correct (and long) title for the Duke, before discussing the details of 'those supporting H. R. H.', including 'Sir E Merewether should come before me, and I am Major not Brigadier General.' Ends, 'You should leave out all references to Dress, but you can let H. E. The Governor know that H. R. H. will be in Review order Blue but with forage cap, white cover; then H. E. will no doubt order what dress others wear.'.

1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged, with punch holes at margin. MacEntee begins his letter to Hickey: 'In the tribute which "The Statist" pays to the late Hilaire Belloc a reference is made to his essay on usury. I read this some time ago but cannot recall the title of the volume in which it appeared. I should be grateful, indeed, if you would be kind enough to make good the lacuna by supplying the missing title.' He congratulates Hickey 'on the article itself'. In MacEntee's opinion 'it was quite the best and most balanced of all those that I have read and I do not except the more voluminous and supercilious Eton and what-not articles in "The Tablet"'. He hopes that Hickey will holiday in Ireland that year, and 'will not forget to call'. At the head of the page is an ANS 'To C. B.' from 'Tom Hickey': 'As this letter from Sean MacEntee, then Irish Minister for Finance, was prompted by your article on Hilaire Belloc, which the Minister so enthusiastically praises, I think it only fair to pass it on to you'. Note: "Following his education MacEntee worked as an engineer in Dundalk, County Louth, and was involved in the establishment of a local corps of the Irish Volunteers in the town. He mobilised in Dundalk and fought in the General Post Office Garrison in the Easter Rising in 1916. He was sentenced to death for his part in the rising. This sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. MacEntee was released in the general amnesty in 1917, and was later elected a member of the National Executives of both Sinn Féin and the Irish Volunteers in October 1917. MacEntee was later elected Sinn Féin Member of Parliament (MP) for Monaghan South at the 1918 general election.".
