О книге

Excerpt from Robert Emmet: A Historical Romance

I have called this book a historical romance. Romantic, certainly, the story is in itself, but it is a romance of fact. Not merely in the broad outline, but in every detail of the narrative, (with a single exception, of no great historic importance, duly avowed in the note which I append,) this is a faithful recital of things which happened in the year 1803. The names are the real names of the actors in those scenes; and I have used little more imaginative licence than was conceded to historians who assigned to generals and to politicians speeches suitable to this or that occasion.

How far it is justifiable to give the colours of fiction to a historical narrative, my critics, if I have any, must decide.

At least, there is no attempt made in these pages, to dissect the character of a national hero.
