" We sincerely wish that these volumes may have a wide circulation. Never was a more timely publication. We have here a most potent persuasive to that justice to Ireland which is now more than ever the first duty and necessity of Great Britain. Our heart's desire is, that both there and here, by the government and by the people, the lessons which come out from the ' Lives and Times of the United Irishmen,' may be read, marked, learned, and inwardly digested." Westminster Review, August.
