The author of this political satire was Sir Hercules Langrishe of Knocktopher, County Kilkenny. In April and May of 1771 he published anonymously in the ‘Freeman’s Journal’ a covert attack on the government of Lord Townshend, who had succeeded in alienating the Irish parliamentarians. These lampoons along with a number of letters by Flood and Grattan, who was then a young lawyer, were published in this volume.
