| Résumé : | In 1783 Henry Grattan complimented Charles James Fox by describing his views as 'liberal to Ireland and just to those lately concerned in her redemption'. He also claimed that 'Fox wished sincerely for the liberty of Ireland without reserve.' Sir James Mackintosh's draft inscription for Westmacott's statue of Fox in Westminster Abbey stated that he had 'contended for the rights of the people of America and Ireland'. Whiggish historians subsequently built upon this notion of Fox and his followers as great friends of Ireland |
