	Theobald Wolfe Tone - LoveToKnow 1911
		THEOBALD WOLFE TONE (1763-1798), Irish rebel, the son of Peter Tone, a Dublin coachmaker, was born in Dublin on the 10th of June 1763.
		Tone expressed in his pamphlet unqualified contempt for the constitution which Grattan had so triumphantly extorted from the English government in 1782; and, himself a Protestant, he urged co-operation between the different religious sects in Ireland as the only means of obtaining complete redress of Irish grievances.
		Tone, who accompanied it as "Adjutant-general Smith," had the greatest contempt for the seamanship of the French sailors, which was amply justified by the disastrous result of the invasion.

		Wolfe's journalism was new--a subset of the larger, established category of literary journalism--to the extent that he engaged his subject "experientially," and the posture was hitherto uncommon.
