Such were some of the fruits of the elder Mr. Adams's administration. In the autumn of 1799 and the winter of 1799-1800, the interesting and vital question was presented to the American nation: Will you sustain this administration and these measures, and thus rivet chains upon yourselves and your posterity?
After the insurrection he escaped to France, and some years later returned to Dublin. Brother-in-law of Thomas Addis and Robert Emmet, and a vehement opponent of the Union in 1799-1800. He declined to accept promotion at the Bar while the Union endured. Described by Thomas Davis as the best man and the best Irishman he ever knew.

It is necessary to enter into these details, because it was on the basis of the years 1799-1800, and not on that of a year of normal expenditure, such as was 1795, that Pitt and Castlereagh framed the financial clauses of the Act of Union, which were to establish the taxable relations between Great Britain and Ireland.
