Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of England, Vol. 8 of 10: From the Accession of James I to the Outbreak of the Civil War, 1603-1642
It soon became evident that the proceedings of the Com missioners were not regarded with approbation by the Irish population. Some fifty persons, indeed, who were already large landed proprietors, and who therefore had good reason to expect that their submission would be reckoned to their advantage when the division was made, gave their adhesion to the scheme. The remainder of the population, consisting of about men, women, and children, of whom about would be grown-up men, was almost without exception opposed to it.
It would indeed have been strange if it had been otherwise. Not only were acres, or nearly half the divisible land.
