The Sadleir Web

The following set of books came from Peter Scott in the UK. Several of the books have a Sadleir signature in them. One of the books is the 1720 volume about Sir Ralph's ambassadorial duties to Scotland and another is by Franc Sadleir. In any case these books seem to have come from the personal library of a Sadleir. Whom I don't know.

Letter and Negotiations of Sir Ralph Sadler, ambassador of King Henry VIII. to Scotland, etc.

Edinburgh
1720

This is the same book as is listed on the Books page. This particular copy is in poor shape. Both the front and back covers are loose.

The inside cover (see picture to left) contains a bookplate for Lewis Montolieu. Above the bookplate is the signature A. Tredill (I think) and below the plate is T. Lewis.

If anyone owns a copy of this book or knows of the location of one, I am interested in purchasing them or getting photos of any signatures that they may contain.

The Death Of Abel:
In Five Books.
Attempted From The German

London
1809

The bookplate on the inside cover is that of Letitia S. G. (Sarah Georgina) Sadleir (b. abt. 1808 - d. 27 Nov. 1867). She was married to Ralph Sadleir (b. 5 Jan. 1815 - d. 28 Sept. 1902). Her signature appears on the illustration page opposite the title page.

The title page has the signatures of Abigail Sadleir and Mary Sadleir. Under Mary's signature is also the date: Feb Th 23 1820.

I thought that the "Th" may stand for Thursday, but the 23rd was a Wednesday. Perhaps She thought it was the 24th and wrote the TH first.

Unfortunately the front cover of this book is detached.

	* Henry Sadlier was the 2nd Baron Dunalley. Since a Henry Sadleir's signature appears on the title page perhaps this is the same person. Incidentally the Barony of Dunalley was created in the Peerage of Ireland in 1800.¹ Here is a list of the Barons Dunalley: Henry Prittie, 1st Baron Dunalley (1743-1801) Henry Sadlier Prittie, 2nd Baron Dunalley (1775-1854), elected a Representative Peer in 1828 Henry Prittie, 3rd Baron Dunalley (1807-1885) Henry O'Callaghan Prittie, 4th Baron Dunalley (1851-1927), elected a Representative Peer in 1891 Henry Cornelius O'Callaghan Prittie, 5th Baron Dunalley (1877-1948) Henry Desmond Graham Prittie, 6th Baron Dunalley (1912-1992) Henry Francis Cornelius Prittie, 7th Baron Dunalley (b. 1948) ¹This information came from wordiQ.com - Definition of Peerage in Ireland (http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Peerage_of_Ireland)

There is a typed letter pasted to the inside cover, dated June 1936, to Thomas Ulick Sadlier from George Bingham. The letter recounts a story about their mutual relative John Sadler. I have made this letter available as a PDF. (Adobe Acrobat Reader will be necessary to view it).

There was a scrapbook from this collection that went to another dealer. I have been unable to acquire this book. However, Mr. Scott has been kind enough to contact the owner and photograph a few of the pages which are shown below.

If anyone has any information regarding the contents of these photos such as the location of the Manors, etc.. please contact me at tcharney AT sadleir DOT org.
