  • One of the initial problems raised for England by the outbreak of Anglo-American hostilities in 1775, was that of ensuring an adequate supply of provisions for the English naval and military forces, that had to be dispatched to, and maintained in, America. Confronted with this problem, Lord North's government inevitably focussed attention on Ireland's provision supply.

  • The Personnel of the Dublin Society of United Irishmen, 1791-4

  • One of the most noticeable features of Irish political life in the 'later eighteenth century, is, that though political power was :oncentrated in comparatively few hands, there was a very large leasure of political freedom. One could in fact sum up the system by saying that it was oligarchy tempered by discussion. As a result, voluntary and unofficial societies and clubs arose for the purpose of educating and influencing public opinion, and were the nuclei of much political thought and action. There [were Whig Clubs, Constitutional Clubs, Societies for the [Preservation of Liberty and Peace and Associations of Independent Voters. Thus there was nothing very strange in the Iformation, in November 1791, of a Dublin branch of the newly bounded Society of United Irishmen. But this group was to prove unique in at least one respect.
