William Edward Hartpole Lecky (1838--1903), Irish historian and essayist, gained fame in his lifetime for his works History of Rationalism (1865) and History of European Morals (1869), both accepted as acute and suggestive commentaries. His most ambitious work, however, was the History of England during the Eighteenth Century (1878--90). It is the lucid work of a great historian, and its last chapters were separately published in a new edition as the History of Ireland in the Eighteenth Century. Lecky uses extensive authorities and maintains a rare judicial impartiality with a view to refuting the calumnies of J. A. Froude against the Irish people. Lecky’s impressive history goes beyond the rebellion of 1798 and the legislative Union of 1800 to describe the eventful beginnings of Irish history in the new century. As such it remains an essential work.--niversally considered a great and balanced historical account --out of print and essential to all Irish historians --best of many revised editions

W. E. H. Lecky (1838-1903) was one of the most distinguished Victorian historians. He was unusual in the extent to which he made use of archival sources, and noted for his ability of do justice to both sides of an argument. His History of Ireland in the Eighteenth Century was first published as part of A History of England in the Eighteenth Century, but was reissued in 1892 as a five-volume work. He has been described as the first revisionist Irish historian, as the aim of the book was partly to respond to Froude's The English in Ireland in the Eighteenth Century, which is markedly anti-Irish in its sentiments. Lecky was no nationalist, and opposed Home Rule, but wanted to provide a more truthful and balanced narrative, and his account of the United Irishmen and the events of 1798 was highly regarded. Volume 1 covers the period to 1760.
