Inscribed and signed on endpaper. Two manuscript letters loosely inserted. Manuscript entry, correction/explanation/annotations by Maurice Headlam to Arland Ussher on page 166 and page 175. Maurice Headlam was the British civil servant in Ireland who was British Treasurer Remembrancer and Deputy Paymaster for Ireland, from 1912, a post due for abolition with Home Rule, and which he held to May 1920. His Autobiography "Irish Reminiscences" (London: Robert Hale 1947) included the stark, printed Dedication in the book, which reads:,"To those Who Have Loved Ireland and Do Not Care Much for Eire". The Autobiography includes the following chapters: To Ireland as a Tourist / Appointment as Official in Ireland / First Impressions of Dublin / Ireland in 1912 / People, Clubs and Personalities / Work and Officials / Irish Sport / Irish Problems and Politics / April 1912 - August 1914 / The War / The Irish Rebellion and After / Last Years in Ireland / Irishmen - Irish Speech and Irish Language / The Irish Country / Index // ____________________________________________________ Percival Arland Ussher (9 September 1899 – 24 December 1980) was an Anglo-Irish academic, essayist and translator. Ussher was born in Battersea, London, the only child of Emily Jebb (born at the Lyth estate, Ellesmere, Shropshire in 1872) and Irishman Beverley Grant Ussher. The Jebbs were a wealthy and influential family of reformers. His grandmother Eglantyne Louisa Jebb founded the Home Arts and Industries Association, his aunt Eglantyne Jebb founded the Save the Children organisation, and his aunt Dorothy Jebb Buxton was a humanitarian. Beverley Ussher worked for the Board of Education in England as an Inspector of Schools. They lived in England until his retirement in 1914, at which time they moved to Ireland and lived at Cappagh House in Dungarvan, County Waterford. Emily Ussher was also an activist and tried to raise the alarm about the atrocities the Black and Tans were committing against the Irish. Ussher studied at Cambridge University for some time. In 1926, he published a translation of The Midnight Court (Cúirt an Mheán-Oíche) by the Irish Gaelic-language poet, Brian Merriman. Ussher published The Face and Mind of Ireland (1949) and Three Great Irishmen (1952), a comparative study of Shaw, Yeats, and Joyce. Ussher moved to County Waterford to manage the family farm before moving to Dublin in 1953. (Wikipedia)
