The Insurrection of the Twenty-Third July, 1803 . Dublin: Graisberry & Campbell, [1803]. First Edition. Pp ix, 110. Ex library copy, with stamps. Bound in tan cloth boards, title in gilt to spine. A very good copy.

Published in the wake of Robert Emmet’s abortive rebellion. The book recounts the events leading up to the events of 1803 and attempts to give an ideological justification for the British suppression of the separatist rebels.

It has been described as a travesty by subsequent Irish writers and historians for its bias against Irish nationalist republicanism.
