NOTE: I have ordered a copy of A Dictionary of Members of the Dublin Book Trade 1550-1800. It tells the full story of many of the Quaker JACKSONs involved in the book trades in Dublin in the time period that is of interest to me. I have a hunch that some of the same foundries that forged the type for printing books such as Thomas Paine’s Rights of Man, were also used by Henry JACKSON of Ballybay to forge pike heads for the insurrection of 1798. It is worth noting that more editions of Paine's Rights of Man were published in Ireland than anywhere else in the English-speaking world. I am also reading Rev. William JACKSON’s Observations in answer to Mr. Thomas Paine’s Age of Reason. He wrote it while he was in prison facing charges of being a traitor because of his actions with the United Irishmen. These convergences of so many JACKSONs are intriguing.
