See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Unsigned, but in Lynd's hand and from the Lynd family papers. 6pp, 4to, on six leaves of ruled paper, twenty-six lines to a page. In fair condition, lightly aged, with dog-eared corners. Lynd's handwriting is execrable, and he employs a number of abbreviations of common words, such as 'and', 'the', 'of'. Begins: '[.] found expression in literature. / As I have suggested, however, it is in the art of conversation rather than the art of literature that the Irish comic spirit has found its fullest expression. [.]' Lynd's discussion brings in Congreve, Shaw, Standish O'Grady, Douglas Hyde, O'Higgins. Ends: '[.] he began to look through the books in the library and happened to open O'Halloran's History of Ireland in three volumes. It was the first History of Ireland into wh[ich] he had ever looked. It is then t[hat] his imagination got the first impulse and pluned it back among the gods & heroes of Ireland. No man has done more to interpret those gods & heroes to the imagination of modern Irishmen & to remind them of the glorious [?] & the Irish drama. Who has ever written more nobly of the creations of those early writers?' The passage '& to remind them [.] Irish drama' is lacking in the text as published on pp.160-161 of 'The Irish Bookman', vol.13 (1922).…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 'Rambles in Ireland' was published in 1912, with illustrations by Jack B. Yeats. On one side each of four 4to leaves of aged and worn paper. The first leaf carries a covering page on which is the typed word 'KINSALE'; above this Lynd has written in pencil: '26 / Rambles in Ireland / (By Robert Lynd) / Chapter VII'. The three pages which follow carry the text: title and 21 lines on the first, and twenty-five lines apiece on the second and third. On the first page one sentence is entirely recast: '[.] but of rest and the look of the place, I cannot say whether Parson Tomms and Parson Mead and the mayor have left any worthy successors. Kinsale is one of those quiet southern towns, which look almost as though they had been forgotten at the bottom of a sea of still air.' becomes 'but of quietness & the site of a battle, I cannot say whether Parson Mead and the mayor have left any worthy successors. But I deny upon oath, however, that it is or ever was a vile place[.] Kinsale is one of those quaint and still southern towns, which look almost as though they had been forgotten at the bottom of a motionless sea of air.' The second page has thirteen minor emendations, and the third two. The reverse of the final leaf is filled with infant drawings of anthropomorphic farm animals. …
