| Summary: | Book, 1846, is signed by Meagher, along with other Richmond prisoners in 1849: [Patric]k O'Donohoe, Kevin Izod O'Doherty, and T. B. McManus. Manuscript verse on single page, 1848, (torn in six pieces): 'In my boyhood I had a strange feeling that I would die in the noon of my day - Not quietly with the silent grave stealing But torn, like a blasted oak, sudden away. With this feeling upon me, all feverish and glowing, I rushed up the rugged path, panting, to Fame - I snatched at my laurels while yet they were growing And won for my portion the half of a name'. |
