Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Irish Insurrection of 1798, Giving an Authentic Account of the Various Battles Fought Between the Insurgents and the King´s Army, and a Genuine History of Transactions Preceding That Event I would not obtrude myself on public attention were I not earnestly solicited by numerous and respectable friends (who have at length prevailed) to give a genuine account of the transactions in the county of Wexford, during the insurrection, in the year 1798; in order to counteract the baleful effects of the partial details and hateful misrepresentations, which have contributed so much to revive and continue those loathsome prejudices that have, for centuries, disturbed and distracted Ireland. It is conceived, that a fair and impartial account, by dissipating error, may operate as a balm to heal the wounds of animosity; for let the candid reader be of what political principles he may, I am confident he must be sensible, that no adherent of either of the contending parties in this unhappy country, can in justification feel himself authorized to assert, that his own party was perfectly in the right, and the other egregiously in the wrong; and yet there are partisans to be found on either side, endeavoring to maintain that this is actually the case. But if these zealots could be induced calmly to listen to the melancholy tales of enormity that can unfortunately be told of both parties, they might be prevailed upon to relax a little in their prejudices.
