The text proper begins, on p.5: ' Sinn Fe in / At the First Annual Convention of the National Council, held in the Rotunda, on Tuesday, November 28th, 1905, under the Presidency of Mr Edward Martyn, Mr. Arthur Griffith proposed as the policy of the National Council: / "National self-development through the recognition of the duties and rights of citizenship on the part of the individual, and by the aid and support of all movements originating from within Ireland, instinct with national tradition, and not looking outside Ireland for the accomplishment of their aims."' Also included is second heavily-creased and torn set of the outer leaves of the pamphlet, i.e. the bifoliate carrying pp.1-2 and 31-2.…
