Excerpt from Edward and Pamela Fitzgerald: Being Some Account of Their Lives, Compiled From the Letters of Those Who Knew ThemIrish Rebellion of '98 was inevitable - as inevitable and as salutary for England as the rebellion of Cromwell, or the revolt of the American Colonies. Lord Edward was one of the chief instru ments appointed for its accomplishment, self-chosen only so far as any of us ever are self-chosen to carry out the purposes of destiny. If he was a traitor to his country, he was the most single-minded and loyal traitor that ever lived. That, at least, is the conclusion to which the correspondence which is set down in this book appears to me to point and the letters as a whole cannot fail, I think, to give a better and a truer understanding of his personal attitude towards his fellow-countrymen and the government of the King.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
