Description: Two Volume SetLeaders of Public Opinion in Irelandby William Edward Hartpole Lecky Longmans Green and Co. 1903 This early work of W.E.H. Lecky's, originally published in 1861, was radically altered in 1871 and again in 1903. This edition excised a chapter on Swift and expanded the essay on Daniel O'Connell to occupy a second volume. Henry Flood and Henry Grattan are the subjects of the first volume. It is a companion to, and continuation of, Lecky's History of Ireland in the Eighteenth Century.Flood and Grattan were leaders of the Irish Patriot Society and O'Connell was known as the Liberator. An historian looking for perspective on Irish independence might find these books, publishing thirteen years before the Rising, a great source and a great acquisition. Foxing on both volumes but more prevalent on the first and last pages.
