Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals, Anecdotes, Traits, and Traditions of the Irish Parliaments: 1172 to 1800 As the General Election has once more placed Mr. Gladstone as Prime Minister, and that great statesman having already shown his desire to restore to Ireland the Parliament which a combination of circumstances deprived her of at the beginning of the present century, I have endeavoured in the following pages to trace the annals of the Irish Parliaments, and to show how their independence was restricted by Poyning´s Law, - again by the English statute 6 George I., - and, having gained freedom and independence in 1782, how, in the warning words of Dr. Johnson, they were robbed by the Union. Addressing an Irishman, the sturdy English author said: "Do not make a Union with us, sir; we would unite with you only to rob you." I desire emphatically to state that the cry of Separation is wholly untrue. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
