ABSTRACT
The ULSTER REGISTER, A Political and Literary Magazine, was a Belfast weekly magazine (unusual combination) that published five volumes from 1816 through 1818. Unlike many journals of the Irish Establishment, the Ulster Register seems to have espoused a liberal Whig tradition. In an article on Thomas Moore that follows the single relevant literary review, Moore is praised as “a martyr to his integrity,” a man “who has upheld the honour of his name as a poet, and his character as an Irishman, against the threats and seductions of a profligate and abandoned court.”
