Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life, Trial and Conversations of Robert Emmet, Esq., Leader of the Irish Insurrection of 1803: Also, the Celebrated Speech Made by Him on the Occasion During the first four months after Emmet's arrival, nothing of his machinations transpired. Soon after the King's Proclamation, on the 8th of March, conceiving the moment of national alarm at the renovation of hosilities, ' and a threatened invasion, favourable to his projects, he became more active in his preparations. The whole of his family portion, which consisted oftwo thousand five hundred pounds, he devoted to his enthusiasm. In the beginning of April, he quitted his lodgings at Harold's Cross, with the name of Hewig and in the new name of Ellis he took the lease of a house, for which he paid a fine of sixty-one guineas, in Butterfield Lane, near Rathfarnham. Here he harangued his associates, and encouraged them by hopes of a happy result to their labours. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
