Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763-98) is remembered as a firebrand
revolutionary who was the founding father of Irish nationalism, and
who committed suicide on the eve of his planned execution in Dublin
for treason. This two-volume autobiography, completed after his
death by his son, was published in Washington in 1826. It contains
accounts of his adventurous life and his key role in the foundation
of the Society of United Irishmen in 1791, as well as extracts from
his journals, letters, and political works. Volume 1 describes his
life up to the point at which he travelled from America to France
and joined the French army, including his education at Trinity
College Dublin, his legal training at the Middle Temple (both of
which suggested a future as part of the Anglo-Irish Establishment),
and his early career as a political writer and proponent of equal
rights for Catholics in Ireland.

Ireland by a French invasion, and also his capture, trial and
death. An appendix, written by Tone's wife and son, gives the story
of his family from 1798 up to the point at which William Wolfe Tone
left the French army in 1815 and emigrated to America.
