[HARRINGTON, Tim] A Plan of Campaign. A memo for the country. Dublin: Supplement to United Ireland, Saturday November 20, 1886. Broadsheet, 45 x 55cm. Text printed in five columns on one side only within a double lined border, with a harp surrounded by a cluster of shamrocks in each corner. Folded with crease marks resulting in minute loss of a few letters at one fold, repaired. Minor fraying to some edges. The 'Plan of Campaign' was a strategy employed by tenants against landlords between 1886 and 1891, prompted by the depression in the prices of dairy produce and cattle in the mid 1880s which left many tenants in arrears with rent. The Plan, conceived by Timothy M. Healy, was organised by Tim Harrington, William O'Brien and John Dillon. Very rare.
