Frederick William Conway (1782–1853) was an Irish journalist, newspaper founder and editor.
Conway was probably born in Loughrea, County Galway, where his father ran a newspaper. His entire career was in journalism, becoming the editor of the Dublin Evening Post after 1800.[1] In 1813, he founded the Dublin Political Review and in 1821, The Drama. He was also the proprietor of a newspaper called the "Farmer's Gazette" as of 1846 [2]
Although Conway was a supporter of Catholic Emancipation and a member of the Catholic Association.[3] he was believed by Daniel O'Connell to have joined the Association as a mole. O'Connell accordingly nicknamed him "Castle Conway" in reference to a rumoured pension he received from the British civil service based in Dublin Castle.[4] He served as a prosecution witness against O'Connell in "Indictment for a Conspiracy, in the Case of the Queen" in 1844.[5]
He amassed a library of books, manuscripts and incunabula, the sale of which went on for twenty-five days after his death in Dublin, aged seventy-one (many of the books went to the library of Trinity College, Dublin (TCD) and other libraries in Ireland). He collected from a wide variety of topics, largely theology from the Thirteenth to Fifteenth centuries.[6]
