'An eminently readable and interesting book. The author is to be commended for putting Arthur Browne back in his rightful place at the heart of late-eighteenth-century Irish politics and society as a relentless pursuer of principled action in the Irish parliament in its final declining years and as a highly intelligent and significant legal mind', Charles Ivar McGrath, Irish Jurist (2017).

'[A] major step in the restoration of the reputation of a significant figure in Irish legal and political history', Cowan Ervince, Edinburgh Law Review (2019).
