Instruction the sequal
When from the emancipation
of Irish from British
Parliament the peoplevolunteer
went on to do of the
people from sham
representatives, censure
from him, and of course
from biographies

The sequal is not less instructive. When by these same men
by whom the which so much lauded good had been done to the country continued gave extensive
their views follows, and from the emancipation of the Irish from
the British Parliament proceeded toapplied them the endeavours to the emancipating
the people from the yoke of a set of sham representatives
them by themselves and not by those whom they pretended to represent,
these endeavours became of course in the eyes of this Lord
wild and visionary mischievous and accordingly <add>in their</add>of his biographer and so forth, Quere as to this the censure in
paragraph?

On some day unmentioned day in October in Novr 1783 the Consent under or 10
Hardy 263. Octr.
or Novr 1783 Volunteers Delegates
of in convention at
Dublin. Charlemont
chosen President.
Great majority men
of rank and fortune
many M.P.s Lords
and Commoners.
the name of "The Convention", the Delegates form these Volunteers' met
"in Dublin, at the Royal Exchange. when, as prepatory to every
"things else they chose Lord Charlemont their President. They
"presented says Lord Charlemont himself " a numerous, and
"respectable body of gentlemen. For though some of a lower
"class had been delegated, by far the majority were men of rank
"and fortune, and many of them Members of Parliament, Lords
"and Commoners....

The biographer then proceeds to showstate<add>give us to understand</add> how his hero or 11
Then shews Hardy
had Charlemont
accepted and continued
at the head of the design
for the parties of defeating
it
accepted the command and to the last continued at the head of the Connection
for the purpose of defeating the design which accordingly
was defeated.

In justification of this purpose the biographer give us to
understand that the plans of reform produced were numerous, and
that though some "ingenious some which bespoke and exercised or 12
Sole reason assigned
Reform plans numerous:
many "inefficient
or excisable
Assumed without
proof that the bad
would have been preferred
and rational mind, yet in general "they were either inefficient
or "execrable" not which except that a few rhetorical exaggeration
in convicted common is all he says of them. Well then those that were " bad, would they
have obtained the preference over such as were good." The affirmative
is what he must assume and without proof, or they contribute
nothing to thehis purpose justification.
