"THE RIGHTS OF MAN IN IRELAND, the greatest happiness of the greatest number in this island, the inherent and indefeasible claims of every free nation, to rest in this nation – the will and the power to be happy – to pursue the Common Weal as an individual pursues his private welfare, and to stand in insulated independence, an imperatorial People." - Manifesto To The Friends of Freedom in Ireland, Dublin, June 1791.

Both Pádraig Pearse and James Connolly revered the document as the earliest manifesto of modern Irish democracy. The specific authorship of the manifesto is unknown, it is speculated to have been Wolfe Tone, however no mention of the manifesto is made in his biography.

"‘Ná caithidh chum na conairte mé,’ adubhairt Parnell le Gaedhealaibh, ‘go bhfuighidh sibh an luach airgid ar a bhfuil sibh dom’ dhíol.’ Níor éisteadh leis. Do caitheadh chum na conairte é agus do stracadh ó n-a chéile é."

"The alternative which is now submitted to your choice, with regard to England is, in one word, UNION OR SEPARATION!”

The following proclamation was found aboard the French ship of war Le Hoche, following the Battle of Tory Island, off the coast of County Donegal, in October 1798. The address was believed to have been written in late 1796 at the time of the attempted French expedition at Bantry Bay off the Cork coast which fate in the form of bad weather ultimately scuppered. The address by Tone to the Irish people, intended to be distributed widely across the nation in the event of a successful French landing, has all the hallmarks of a proclamation, alike to that proclaimed by Emmet in 1803, that of the Fenians in 1867 and of that read aloud by Pearse at the General Post Office in 1916. It is thus not only one of Tone’s finest writings, but also the first true proclamation of the Irish Republic.

"An bhfuil Gaedhil na haoise so chomh meathta sin is go gcuirfidís iad féin fá gheasaibh agus fá mhionnaibh bheith dílis do choróin Shasan go deo?"
