Publisher's Synopsis
Vindiciae Hibernicae, also known as Ireland Vindicated, is a book written by Mathew Carey in 1819. The book is an attempt to expose the errors and falsehoods that have been spread about Ireland. Carey argues that these misconceptions have led to misunderstandings and mistreatment of the Irish people.The book is divided into three parts. The first part provides a historical overview of Ireland, including its early Celtic roots, the arrival of the English, and the various rebellions and uprisings that have taken place over the centuries. Carey argues that Ireland has been treated unfairly by the English and that the Irish people have been subjected to a long history of oppression and discrimination.The second part of the book focuses on the economic and social conditions of Ireland during the early 19th century. Carey argues that the poverty and suffering experienced by the Irish people is a direct result of British policies and neglect. He also discusses the impact of the potato famine, which had devastated Ireland in the years leading up to the publication of the book.The final part of the book examines the political situation in Ireland, including the struggle for Irish independence and the role of the Catholic Church in Irish society. Carey argues that the Irish people have a right to self-determination and that they should be allowed to govern themselves without interference from the British.Overall, Vindiciae Hibernicae is a passionate defense of Ireland and its people. Carey's arguments are well-researched and persuasive, and the book remains an important work in Irish history and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
