Rebellion of 1798 Broadsides (above) Extract from Letter from Colonel Campbell to General
Dundas Dublin, 1798 Printed at the height of the 1798
Rebellion, this broadside was aimed at reassuring to those citizens of
Dublin who were fearful that the United Irishmen would succeed in
their aim of making Ireland an independent Republic. It tells of the
success of the yeomanry forces at Carlow and Monasterevan and the
resultant high spirits of the soldiers. For
