Scope and content
Manuscript transcript of Robert Emmet’s ‘Speech from the dock’ (1803) by Terence MacSwiney. The text is a copy by MacSwiney of an Irish translation of Emmet’s speech made by Tadhg Ó Murchadha (‘Seandún’). The text was later bound into a volume by Br. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. Gilt title to spine reads ‘Manuscript copy by Terence MacSwiney of Robert Emmet’s speech’. A manuscript addition suggests that the original translation by Ó Murchadha was published in ‘Fáinne an Lae’ in May 1899.
