Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Concise View of the Origin, Constitution and Proceedings of the Honorable Society of the Governor and Assistants of London, of the New Plantation in Ulster, Within the Realm of Ireland, Commonly Called the Irish Society: Compiled, Principally, From Their Records; 1822
The History of England shews the great change produced in the minds of the people, during the sixteenth and pre ceding century, by the discovery of the art of printing, and also by that memorable event, the reformation of the church. Communication of ideas being thereby rendered more easy, and individuals being relieved from the dread of papal denunciations, they quickly began to feel their own couse quence, and obtained more correct views of religion and politics; they also began to set a proper value on their civil and religious rights, and proceeded to adopt such measures as might secure those blessings to their posterity.
At the commencement of the seventeenth Century, in the latter end of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, o'neill, Earl of tir-owen, with several other Roman Catholics of eminence in the province of Ulster, in the north of Ireland, rebelled against the Crown of England, but were finally subdued, and attainted of high treason; and their princely possessions, consisting of six counties, were, in the succeeding reign vested in the Crown by act of Parliament, as forfeited property.
