UNITED IRISHMAN MENTION

I can't tell you how excited I am about this - I have a WIP waiting to be edited about an underground debating club around the time of the 1975 "Gagging Acts" which was inspired by the likes of the London Corresponding Society. I had a whole argument with myself about the extent to which I could mention the United Irishmen, because it required a massive amount of Context that went beyond the scope of the novel, and in the end had to settle for only a couple of passing references.

It was one of those "please can someone else write that book for me" moments, so to be enjoying Master and Commander anyway then to hit this as a bonus?? It's basically Christmas
