Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Ireland: Its Vital Questions, Secret Societies, and Government Very little change is necessary to make this accu rately descriptive of the present state of things. Although there have been no general calamities on which to charge part of the blame, the most indus trions and energetic of the land-cultivators are flying from a country intrinsically rich, where an artifi cial system of land-laws has made prosperity impos sible for them. That Ireland has again become bold and daring is a fact which ought not to be more clear than that the same cause has led to it, which in 1779 produced it.
