MOORE, Thomas.
The Life and Death of Lord Edward Fitzgerald.
London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, Green & Longman, 1832. In Two Volumes. Third edition. (first published London, 1831.) 8vo., cont. half leather raised bands, (viii), 307, 308pp. Offsetting from portrait on title, portrait and folding map a bit foxed o/w a fine copy.
Lord Edward Fitzgerald (1763-1798) soldier and Irish nationalist, served with the military and foreign service. In 1781 he was stationed in Charleston but he was wounded and returned to Ireland for a short time. When he returned to his regiment (as a Major) he was posted in New Brunswick. Of an adventurous spirit, Fitzgerald set off on foot using a compass and made his way from Fredericton to Quebec. (an account of his journey and other Canadian experiences is documented in the above work pp. 74-145.) From Quebec he travelled to Detroit and from there down the Mississippi to New Orleans. On his return to Ireland, Fitzgerald became embroiled in politics, particularly the movement for Irish independence. Fitzgerald espoused support for the doctrines of the French Revolution and his denouncement of all hereditary titles, including his own, led to his dismissal from the army. Taking his set in the House of Commons he was expelled for advocating the aims of the Society of United Irishmen; an independent Ireland. In 1796 he joined their ranks and supported the attempts of Wolfe Tone to obtain French support for an insurrection. Fitzgerald provided advice on military strategy and advocated radical and violent means, such as the mass assassination of Irish Peers. However, the rebels were victims of an informer and Fitzgerald was eventually shot and arrested by the British. He died of his wounds in prison. (11th Brit., DNB).
