How do we feel about people like the Emmets who were really like the Moores of Moore Hall and Lord Sligo of Westport House.The Emmets had been in Ireland since the 1100's.They were Protestant,they had servants.Robert Emmet's father was the State Physician of Ireland,Governor of the Hospital for the Insane,Physician to the Viceregal Lodge.Incidently Butch,I bought the book in Dublin,have not seen it in bookstores in the US.But you could always try Amazon.com
