Mearing Stones. Leaves from my Note-Book on Tramp in Donegal. With Sixteen Pencil Drawings by the Author. Dublin: Maunsel, 1911. Pp vii, 56. First Edition. Paper boards, chipped and worn along spine, title label to front cover. Contents good with light marginal browning to plates.

A slim collection of lyrical prose sketches by the Irish poet Joseph Campbell (published under his Gaelic name, Seosamh Mac Cathmhaoil), first issued by Maunsel in Dublin in 1911.

The book records Campbell’s impressions while tramping through the Donegal landscape, blending close observation of nature with encounters with local people and a pervasive awareness of regional folklore and myth.

It is illustrated with sixteen pencil drawings by the author himself.
