Memoir of Henry O' Donnell, Count of La Bisbal, c 1812-1850
This appears to be a biography of a general of the Spanish Army, Henry Joseph O' Donnell y Anatar, Count of La Bisbal. It is a manuscript with an unnamed author that has factual inconsistencies. For example, the memooir claims that Count 'Abisbal' was born in Andalucia in 1770, although most records indicate that he was born in San Sebastián in 1769.

The material at D.1-D.14 appears to have originally been kept in ring binders. It is a continuous sequence of notes on experiments 1941-1945.

This section is headed 'The O'Donnells of Spain', and includes notes and extracts from other sources, including the mention of the Irish song Seabhac na hEinne agus Bhéal Átha Seanaidh, which may refer to the Irish folk song 'The Hawk of Ballyshannon'.
