A very good copy. (270*206 mm). (Lowndes 1641 later ed. Allibone 1395. Brunet 27513) Title continues: with a particular detail of that which broke out the 23d of May, 1798; the history of the conspiracy which preceded it, and the characters of the principal actors in it. Compiled from original affidavits and other authentic documents. Musgrave, political writer and politician for whom the events of 1798 had a single cause: papist aggression against protestants. Not surprisingly the account of the rising is filled with frightening examples of Irish Catholic brutality and perfidy intended to illustrate their total unfitness for political liberty. For Musgrave the great lesson to be learned from 1798 was the impossibility of political compromise with Irish Catholics. See ODNB.
