This edition of the writings of Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763-98),
barrister, United Irishman, agent of the Catholic Committee and
later an officer in the French revolutionary army, is intended to
comprehend all his writings and largely to supersede the two-volume
Life of Theobald Wolfe Tone, written by himself that was edited by
his son William, and published at Washington in 1826. It consists
mainly of Tone's correspondence, diaries, autobiography, pamphlets,
public addresses, and miscellaneous memoranda (both personal and
public); it is based on the original MSS if extant or the most
reliable printed sources.
Tone's participation in Irish politics in the early 1790s and his
presence on the periphery of the ruling circle in revolutionary
France from February 1796 to September 1798 would be sufficient to
make his writings a major historical source. The literary quality
of his writings, diaries, and autobiography enhances their
importance. The unique quality of Tone's writings is that they are
the production of a gifted and convivial young Irishman who moved
widely in intellectual and political circles.
This volume--France, the Rhine, Lough Swilly, and the Death of
Tone--completes the edition, following the last part of Tone's
life, until his death following the abortive Irish uprising of
1798. It includes addenda, corrigenda, an iconography, a
bibliography, and a complete index to all three volumes.
