Ffeil PQK1/7. - Academic exercises,

Various undated academic exercises in English and Latin, which appear to date from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries. Some are based on imaginary scenarios, namely an address to King Malcolm III of Scotland, speculative letters by Henry Harris to Oxford University tutors and the attempted rescue of the Earl of Desmond from the Tower of London, involving a consultation with Dr John Dee. Also included are an essay written from memory after a lecture on the history of Odonoghue, king of Kerry (Watermark 1806); notes on European alphabets, poetry and mythology; and an English translation of Undine, 1836.
