"Shall we be content to remain in our present oppressed and inglorious state, unknown and unheard of in Europe, the prey of England, the laughing stock of the knaves who plunder us? Or shall we temperately and constitutionally exert our power to procure a complete and radical emancipation to our country by a reform in the representation of the people?"
From An Argument on the Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland, August 1791
