The illegitimate son of an inspector in the Royal Irish Constabulary Noonan who was baptized with the name Croker spent ten years in South Africa after which time he settled in Hastings. "Working in the building trade at subsistence wages he contracted tuberculosis was influenced by socialist writers such as Robert Blatchford and became an active member of the unusually large Hastings branch of the Social Democratic Federation whose banner he painted. He spent his spare time during the last ten years of his life writing by hand the 1800-page manuscript of The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists which brought posthumous fame" ODB On the title-page of the first edition which was substantially abridged from the original manuscript his pen-name is incorrectly spelled ëTressallí. Writing in the Manchester Evening News in April 1946 George Orwell praised the book's ability to convey without sensationalism "the actual detail of manual work and the tiny things almost unimaginable to any comfortably situated person which make life a misery when one's income drops below a certain level." He considered it "a book that everyone should read" and a piece of social history that left one "with the feeling that a considerable novelist was lost in this young working-man whom society could not bother to keep alive. 12mo. pp. ix 385. cloth bit rubbed cloth puckered on spine & inner portion of rear cover New York: Frederick A.Stokes Company Publishers, [1914] hardcover

1886Best.-Nr. KC8047Paris: Alcan-Levy 20 May 1886. Limited Edition. Paperback. Very Good. 28pp 2. 245 x 152mm. Limited edition number 29 of 100 printed on papier Hollande. Original printed wrappers edges uncut preserved and bound possibly for Paul Verlaine in 19th-century marbled boards spine stamped with author title and Ex. De Paul Verlaine. Pierre Quillard dedicates this copy to friend Philippe Martinon 1859-1917 a French linguist philologist and translator À mon ami ce petit livre ancien en souvenir dancienne et présente amitié To my friend this little old book old memories of past and present friendship and autograph of Quillard. Martinon is best remembered for his classic text translations of Greek and Latin and other studies on French metric. It is possible Martinon gave this presentation copy to Verlaine who in turn had it bound with his ex-libris on the spine. Both men were of great literary reputation and frequented the same poetic circles of the burgeoning symbolist movement. It was a new symbolist mystery play to be presented in two simple tableaux as opposed to acts and scenes with minimal direction and the barest of staging directions. In effect the speaker became a central character and the intention thus emphasized the lyricism of the verse. Therefore the verse has a continuous prose accompaniment which explains the changes in time and space indicating different entities and slowly revealing the facts. Quillards verse is freed to reveal the expression of the characters souls -- it becomes a book of masks and symbolic portraits. This Quillards manifesto performance aimed to establish a new aesthetic for stageable drama. The schematic story line of this work arguably made one of the boldest attempts to put such ideas into action. In it Quillard represents the medieval story of St. Uliva a young virgin who agrees to amputate her hands to save her from the incestuous caresses of her brutal father. The story is imbued with vague mysticism supernatural journeys and resurrections. This copy was well admired in the circle of symbolist artists and writers with a definite association with Martinon and perhaps the great Verlaine. Alcan-Levy paperback

The Imitation of Christ is a handbook for spiritual life arising from the Devotio Moderna movement. The text is divided into four books which provide detailed spiritual instructions: "Helpful Counsels of the Spiritual Life" "Directives for the Interior Life" "On Interior Consolation" and "On the Blessed Sacrament". The approach taken in the Imitation is characterized by its emphasis on the interior life and withdrawal from the world as opposed to an active imitation of Christ by other friars. The book places a high level of emphasis on the devotion to the Eucharist as key element of spiritual life. Antwerp : Ex officina Plantiniana Balthasaris Moreti hardcover
