Excerpt from Life of Robert Emmet
Robert, born in 1778. There had been three other children of the same name previous to the date mentioned, but each had died shortly after birth. The name of Emmet has apparently long died out in Ireland, and Madden quotes a letter from Thomas Addis Emmet, sent from America in 1806 to Peter Burrowes, in which the following passage occurs: There is not now in Ireland an individual that bears the name of Emmet. I do not wish that there ever should while it is connected with England, and yet it will perhaps be remembered in its history. In another letter to his daughter he expressed the h0pe that no one of the name would ever put foot on the soil of Ireland while she remained under British rule.

Excerpt from Life of Robert Emmet
The approaching centenary of the death of Robert Emmet offers sufficient reason for the production of a new biography of one who fills so large a place in the memories of the Irish people. What seemed to be most required was a brief and direct account of his life rather than a book overloaded with unnecessary detail, and made prosy by interminable moralizing as in the case of Madden's biography; one keeping rather to the strictly ascertained facts or to those which seem to be borne out by sufficient evidence to justify their inclusion, than an attempt to form glowing periods with no special reference to the admitted data of Emmet's life. The actual history of Emmet's attempt to accomplish a revolution has been somewhat obliterated by rhapsodical accounts of his career, and not a few readers have gathered from them an altogether erroneous impression of the qualities of a romantic but hardly great leader. It would be absurd to pretend that Emmet had the genius of Wolfe Tone.
