- Summary
- "James Coigly, a Catholic priest from Armagh, was hanged for High Treason in June 1798. Despite his eloquent protestations of innocence in this posthumous memoir, Coigly had been deeply involved with the United Irishmen since 1791. Having worked hard to unify Catholics and Dissenters in Ulster, Coigly became ever more extreme in his attempts to raise support for the rebellion in France and among English radicals. His memoir illuminates the political and sectarian conflicts which engulfed Armagh and spawned the Orange order in 1795." "In the first modern edition of this unique document, Coigly's sometimes disingenuous account of his political career is set against the latest research on the evolution of the United Irish conspiracy, and amplified by an appendix of associated documents."--BOOK JACKET.
