Brian O'Higgins: Wolfe Tone Annual 1944 Dublin: Brian O'Higgins, 1945. vi + 148 + vi pp. 21.5 x 14 cm. This is the fabled issue for 1944, "Stopped by Censor" until 1945. The problem seems to have been the relationship between Brian O'Higgins and Dail Eireann, rather than the Annual itself, and there is a lot of comment in the Annual on the machinations involved, including, apparently, a raid on the Kerryman's offices to break up the type. The extensive discussion of the situation is delightfully tongue-in-cheek, and the poetry in the advertisements is appallingly bad. At least the delay allowed the Annual to grow beyond the 120 pages declared on the cover. The Annual was concerned with Nationality and The Irish Language, and, on page 148, claims a readership of 50,000. Unfortunately due to war shortages the paper is of very poor quality, and while there is no loss of text in the first six pages of advertisements the upper right corners are frayed. The front cover is missing its top-right corner. There is a stain on page 29, with the loss of part of four lines of text. £25.006564. British and Irish Communist Organisation: Ulster as it Is.
