A Fair Statement, of the Administration of Earl Fitzwilliam, in Ireland, containing Strictures on the Noble Lord’s Letter to Earl Carlisle (London: Printed for Richard White, 1795)

His Lordship first supposes all his dismissals and measures, (but particularly his conduct on the Catholic question) to be the grounds of his recall: He then asserts that the Catholic question has nothing to do with it, and that the dismissal of Mr. Beresford¹ alone is the real cause of his disgrace: lastly, he rejects these grounds altogether, and ascribes his removal to an original determination in Mr. Pitt,² at the time of the coalition, to discredit him and his friends. It is a proof of weakness to shift the ground of defence; but it is a still greater proof of weakness to fly from facts to insinuation, from argument to personality.
