This "personal" narrative of the "Rebellion" of 1798 by Charles Hamilton Teeling is anything but. As a historical source of the Rebellion itself and the role played by Teeling in it, it holds very little value. Teeling is quite disingenuous in his recollection, and his information is at best fragmentary or voluntarily eluded, which is shame, since Teeling had contacts with the Defenders.

The main interest of this narrative would probably lie in its colourful tone, and in the lyrical mode with which Teeling writes about Ireland and her sufferings, thereby giving birth to genre that would flourish in the 19th century. Unfortunately, this does not come into my area of research.
