Zusammenfassung:	"Henry Flood (1732-91) is generally twinned with Henry Grattan in most accounts of eighteenth-century Irish history, but he possesses a strong claim to be remembered in his own right. A man of great personal courage and formidable intelligence, Flood was a classic patriot of the eighteenth-century mould. Convinced that Irish Protestants deserved to be afforded the same constitutional, political and economic rights as English Protestants, he devoted his life to the advancement of that cause."--BOOK JACKET. "Flood's life and career also provide a fascinating perspective on local politics as he fought (literally) to retain family control of the borough of Callan; on the world of the intellectual elite in Britain as well as in Ireland; and, on a personal level, on the odyssey of one of the ablest and most controversial politicians of his generation."--BOOK JACKET.
