III Experience II. Ireland
2 §.3. Fruit. Golden Age
The description of commercial regulations, and not
general history was the object of his Lordship's work: incidentally
only, and as it were in the way of allusion was the conduct
of the Associated and armed Volunteers mentioned in it: For
the purpose of seeing the account that would be given of it
in a work directly historical on the same side, I turned look up
such being the character I had heard of it, Mr Adolphus's
History of England from the accession of George the 3d to the peace of 1783
In Volume the third, page 178, speaking of the year 1779 at the conclusion of a paragraph
the former parts of which belong not to the place. The number
of Volunteers was exaggerated to sixty thousand, for such was the
policy of that country as well as America. This passage which I
do not perfectly understand: but what I do perfectly understand
is that which immediately follows it. "and the utmost tranquillity
prevailed in all parts of the kingdom. And thereupon in a
note is quoted a long from Lord Sheffield a long paragraph
concluding with the concluding part above reprinted.
The account Thus far what has been seen, seems candid
enough and unexceptionable: and for Of a state of things
at once so singular and so notorious all intention could
not consistently with common decency have been al
omitted: and against any such imputation in the minds of Tory readers as that of a
desperation to do justice to the character and conduct of the
people, the name of Lord Sheffield presented to the prudence
of the historian a sufficient shield.
