Ever since the 1798 rebellion historians in seeking to explain its failure have laid great emphasis on the intelligence network of agents and informers organised by Dublin Castle Two questions have remained relatively unanswered what did Dublin Castle know and when did it know this This book seeks to assess the role of informers in the 1790s and the Castles receptivity and sensitivity to material handled Firstly it offers a detailed assessment of the leading informers who were in constant communication with the Castle and secondly for the first time it provides a full annotated text of the extant letters written during the years 1795 to 1801 by Francis Higgins perhaps the most colourful and most secret of the Castles correspondents It was Higgins who was largely instrumental in the capture of Lord Edward Fitzgerald and as the letters attest he provided his handler Undersecretary Edward Cooke with much other vital information on the United Irish circle in Dublin during these pivotal years The volume concludes with three appendices Dublin Castles own assessment of its knowledge of the United Irishmen in 1795 the letters of Higgins chief agent Francis Magan and lists of United Irishmen who surrendered in Dublin in September 1798

Considering the fact that Charles Pigotts satirical A Political Dictionary 1795 is regularly quoted and referred to in analyses of late eighteenthcentury radical culture it is surprising that until now it has remained unavailable to readers outside of a few specialised research libraries Until his death on the 24th of June 1794 Pigott was one of Englands most prolific satirists in the decade of revolutionary unrest following the French Revolution writing a number of pamphlets and plays of which only a small proportion have survived Pigott finished A Political Dictionary in prison where he served a sentence for sedition He died before his release and the book was published posthumously The Dictionary was a brilliant satire on the language of Aristocracy and combined radical politics with a high entertainment value Indeed part of what he wrote was considered so scurrilous that the printer left out certain lines in the printed version Modern scholars will find Pigotts work an unrivalled resource for mapping the rhetorical landscape of political debate in the 1790s and one that yields a unique insight into the sentiments and rhetoric of radical discourse The text stands as a convenient handbook providing some of the wittiest and most acidic turns on familiar satirical conventions of the time such as the swinish multitude metaphor and the comparison of King George III to the mad King Nebuchadnezzar It will be an invaluable aid to students and researchers of the period both as a highly amusing source of illustrative quotations and as an encyclopaedia over the central sites of ideological struggle at the time
