Excerpt from The United Irishmen, Their Lives and Times: With Numerous Original Poetraits, and Additional Authentic Documents; The Whole Matter Newly Arranged and Revised Two-and-twenty years have elapsed since the collection of the materials for this work was commenced by the author in the United States of America. Many of the leaders of the Society of United Irishmen were then living in that country, and now are only to be recalled, as of the number of those who were, and are not. The first series of The Lives and Times of the United Irishmen was published in 1842; the second series in 1843; the third, and last, in 1846. The whole was comprised in seven volumes octavo. The mode of publication at different Intervals, from the year 1842 to the latter end of 1846, necessitated many faults with respect to arrangement of materials, coming, as these did, to the author's hands at various periods, and from various countries, during these intervening years. Notwithstanding this defect, the work was eminently successful. It has been long out of print, and frequent demands for it have been made, for some years past, from Australia, the West India Colonies, England, and America. The unsettled state, however, of the law of copyright between the two last-named countries has been productive of injury alike to the author and the work, in the United States. The Lives and Times of the United Irishmen have been reprinted in Ame rica, and republished there, in a very garbled and mutilated form. These circumstances have led to the republication of the work in its present form, carefully revised, largely improved, by the addition of much original authentic information, and entirely re-arranged, so as to bring the matter of the original edition of seven octavo volumes, as well as the additional materials, now presented to the public, into four series, comprised in four volumes, each volume in itself complete.
