Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... would scarcely have been issued without the knowledge or sanction of the accredited "United Irish" envoy to the French republic, who was also agent of the Irish Catholic revolutionary committee. The "United Irish" historian, Harwood, * quotes from the Protestant Bishop Stock's diary in Killalla, that it astonished the French officers to hear the Irish recruits, when they offered their services, declare that "they came to take arms for France and the Blessed Virgin." The Frenchmen said "They had just driven the Pope out of Italy, and did not expect to find him again so suddenly in Ireland." Harwood, though a decided revolutionist, distrustfully the French Revolution in rather a similar spirit to the German philosopher: -- O France, that mockest Heaven, adulterous, blind, And patriot only in pernicious toils, Are these thy boasts, champion of human kind? To mix with kings in the low lust of sway, Yell in the hunt and share the murderous prey; To insult the shrine of Liberty with spoils From freemen torn, to tempt and to betray. Ode on France, Poetical Works, vol. i. * History of the '98 Rebellion, p. 230. adds, "Had a revolution been effected by the help of these very anti-Catholic allies, this antagonism would have placed formidable difficulties in the way of a cordial and permanent unity between the two nations." It is now both interesting and instructive to study the real sentiments of Tone himself, the trusted representative of Irish revolutionists in France, as he may fairly be considered, to reveal the secret views of the chief leaders of the "United Irish" society, of which he was the original framer, and certainly the master-spirit.* In 1791 he wrote prophetically in his journal at Parisf: --" The emancipated and liberal Irishman, ...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from History of the Irish Rebellion in 1798: Memoirs of the Union, Emmett's Insurrection in 1803 A few remarks will be necessary in placing, in its completed state, before the public, a memoir already issued in a serial form. From works long since given to the world - documentary papers - manuscripts for the first time printed - and private details of men still living, and who themselves enacted a leading part during that troubled era, this history has been compiled. The records of the Insurrection of 1798, with rare exceptions, have been written by ardent partisans - who, yielding to a political bias, have coloured the narrative of the transactions of these distracted times, and detailed events, rather as they wished they should have been, than in reality as they were. Care has been taken to collate these conflicting statements, and, by strict impartiality, reach truth as nearly as it can be arrived at. That the author has been successful in the attempt, he would infer by an Irish conclusion. Ultra partisans - Tyrian and Trojan - have expressed dissatisfaction, and impugned his impartiality; Protestant remonstrances been accompanied by Roman Catholic complaints; one party arraigning him of a secret leaning to the principles of ascendancy, met, on the other side, by a countercharge of indulgency towards the disaffected. "Every man in Ireland is a partisan," was the observation of an intelligent foreigner - and the observation is correct.
