First edition, first impression, number 180 of 300 copies numbered by Elizabeth Yeats. Higgins's bucolic poems "belonged to the last wave of the literary revival, which made a cult of ballad and folk poetry. no Irish poet of his generation had a finer feeling for landscape or colour" (DIB). He was a student of W. B. Yeats, often described as the literary heir apparent, and collaborated with the Yeats siblings on the press's Broadsides. He served on the board of the Abbey Theatre from 1935, taking on the role of managing director from 1938.

First edition, sole printing, one of 300 copies. A Broadside was published between June 1908 and May 1915. There were 84 issues in total and the present copy is that for May 1912 (number twelve of the fourth year of publication). As described by Hilary Pyle, "Yeats's practice was to published one or two ballads or poems with two small line block illustrations by himself, and fill in the third page with a single illustration, often a drawing dating from years before". The present example includes two poems: "Die We Must" by John Masefield (signed "Wolfe T. McGowan") and "The Coming of Spring" which is "from the Irish of Raftery's 'County Mayo' by Padraic Colum". As noted by the poet, translator, and critic Eugene Mason, A Broadside "was issued monthly in a limited edition of 300 copies, printed on fine paper in luxurious type, with woodcuts - hand-coloured - by one of the foremost illustrators of his day. This is the very aristocrat amongst broadsheets, and was clearly fated and predestinate from birth to become the minion and delight of collectors". Errington C100.008; Eugene Mason, "Mr Jack B.

First edition, first impression, one of 250 copies. Lady Gregory's final book provides an affectionate account of her house, with chapters about the contents and histories of the principal rooms and the estate's now-famous woods and lake. The work can be seen as the author's personal farewell to the property, written as her health failed and she strove to commemorate both the house and park. The volume opens with W. B. Yeats's "Coole Park, 1929," a magisterial meditation on Gregory's "powerful character" and her influence on him and other writers of the Irish Revival.

Yeats, a long-term collaborator of Synge's at the Abbey Theatre, described him in the preface to Synge's posthumous collection Poems and Translations (1909) as "a solitary, undemonstrative man, never asking pity, nor complaining, nor seeking sympathy but in this book's momentary cries: all folded up in brooding intellect, knowing nothing of new books and newspapers, reading the great masters alone: and he was but the more hated because he gave his country what it needed, an unmoved mind where there is a perpetual last day, a trumpeting, and coming up to judgement". Synge's "premature death affected Yeats profoundly" (DIB). The Cuala Press was one half of Cuala Industries, a co-operative business run by Lily and Elizabeth Yeats.
