Bibliographic Details
Summary:Folder mainly consists of newspaper cuttings (7) and manuscript poems (6). The newspaper cuttings include the poems "The gypsy", "A ballad plaint" and extracts from the published volume 'Scraps from the Mountains' (1840). One article (Kerry Examiner) mentions the tributes received by Christabel from Lord Morpeth and the Duke of Devonshire. An article (Evening Press, 5 Dec 1891), titled ‘A neglected Kerry poetess, Mrs Mary Downing', includes a number of unpublished poems and her best-known poem ‘The grave of McCarthy’. The article also refers to "an experience in 1848 which proved her patriotism"; this involved the escape of James Stephens and Michael Doheny. The manuscript poems include "Greenwich Hall" and "Baby May". Another notable item is a piece entitled "An appeal", which mentions a sermon given by Bishop Moriarty and a speech by Lord Naas in the House of Commons. There is also a small blue note book, signed by [M.J.] McCarthy, containing various verses.
