Excerpt from The Irish in the American Revolution and Their Early Influence in the Colonies

Sixty years ago when Michael Doheny was asked by Gavan Duffy and Thomas Davis to contribute a volume to the Irish Library they were then issuing in Dublin, he chose for his sub jcet the history of the American Revolution.

His first idea, as he was addressing himself entirely to Irish readers, was to write only of the deeds of Irishmen during that eventful period, or at least to group together in the history the men of his own race who took a prominent part in it. He abandoned that intention, however, feeling that his impartiality might appear questionable if he selected them as leading charac ters in the history of a great people, of whom they formed but a proportionate part.
