| Notes | A contemporary account of O'Connell by an Irish Whig journalist, giving a liberal Protestant/Unionist's view of his career; valuable for its perspective rather than data, though appears to contain some eyewitness material. Introduction and notes outline Taylor's Youghal Cromwellian background, his work for the ATHENAEUM and the Anti-Corn-Law League, his advocacy of industrialisation and non-sectarian National education (under thhe influence of Archbishop Whately) and the last stage of his career as propagandist for the Whig administration in Dublin, where he died of cholera in 1849. His review of Carleton's BLACK PROPHET (included in this volume) is well-known to students of the Famine as a defence of laissez-faire economics as the best response to the famine crisis.|editor Patrick Maume |
