Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Proposed Disestablishment of Protestantism in Ireland: In Its Bearings Upon the Religion and Liberties of the Empire
The vast importance of the subject to which it relates can scarcely be over-estimated, and although a singular amount of delusion is abroad in regard to it, it is hoped that wiser counsels may yet pre vail. That any one who, having read history, has travelled over Ireland, and had an opportunity of comparing that fertile but un happy country with other lands, can have any serious doubt as to the leading cause of its social degradation, seems incredible. Other causes, no doubt, there are, but let any one compare Belfast with Galway, Protestant Ulster with the Popish south and west of Ire land, and it seems impossible to deny that the same cause which has degraded Mexico and Spain, Austria and Italy, has visibly stamped its impress on Ireland.
