This chapter examines Theobald Wolfe Tone's An Argument on Behalf of the Catholics of Ireland. It suggests that the Catholic Committee's campaign to repeal penal laws influenced Thomas Russell's commission to write essays on the Catholics and Tone's Argument. It discusses Tone and Russell's growing dissatisfaction with the Whigs which was shared by reformers in Dublin and Belfast and considers the dilemma of the Catholics on whether to support the radical reformers or accept government concessions.

Keywords:   Theobald Wolfe Tone, Argument, Catholic Committee, penal laws, Thomas Russell, Whigs, Dublin, Belfast
