Essays on Ireland (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 31/10/2017 - 324 من الصفحات Excerpt from Essays on Ireland That prosperity aroused the jealousy of William Pitt and of the English mercantile community. To arrest its progress it was resolved to destroy the Constitution under which it h ad grown up, to enact the Union, and thus to bring Ireland once more under the control of the country which, as I have said, had injured every Irish interest to the utmost of her power. The mode in which the Union was achieved, and the results of that measure, will be traced in some detail in this volume. There have been a few protests from different bodies against the repeal of the Union. Some Grand Juries at the recent Spring Assizes have recorded their abject submission to the alien rule under which our country withers. It is humiliating to contrast them with the Grand Juries of l 782, who declared that the Parliament of Ireland was the only power on earth entitled to make laws for this kingdom. Mr. Gladstone has truly said that the modern Grand Juries are not representative bodies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
