Synopsis
Excerpt from Leaders of Public Opinion in Ireland, Vol. 1 of 2
Ireland party, and the Greville Memoirs and several other volumes of biography or correspondence have thrown new Side-lights on his history.
It will be Observed by those who compare this edition with its predecessors that the Sketch of Swift, which in the earlier editions began the book, has disappeared. It will be found in an enlarged, and, I hope, much improved, form as the biographical introduction to the new and popular edition of Swift's Works, published by Messrs. Bell and edited by Mr. Temple Scott. I have replaced it by a short introductory sketch Of the earlier phases of Irish. History since the Revolution. Some passages in Grattan's life, and especially the Fitzwilliam controversy, have been much discussed within the last few years, and Lord Rosebery in his brilliant monograph on Pitt, and Lord Ashbourne in his charming and instructive volume on Some Chapters of Pitt's Life,' have stated with great fulness and force the case against Lord Fitzwilliam, and (which is not quite the same thing) the defence of Pitt's conduct in relation to him. They have not convinced me, and I have endeavoured to meet the points that they have raised; but the reader has at least now the Opportunity of comparing full statements of both Sides.
I have only to add that I have not thought it necessary to overload my pages with references to my authorities when those references are already fully given in my History of Ireland.' I have for the most part con fined them to cases in which new facts have been adduced and to portions of history which had not been dealt with in my longer work.
