A Postliminious Preface To The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland (1804)

""A Postliminious Preface To The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland"" is a book written by Francis Plowden and published in 1804. The book is a preface to Plowden's historical review of the state of Ireland, which was published in the same year. The preface discusses the legal concept of postliminy, which refers to the restoration of something or someone to their former state after being captured or detained. Plowden argues that Ireland, which had been under British rule for centuries, had been restored to its former state of independence through the passage of the Act of Union in 1800. Plowden also discusses the history of Ireland, including its early Celtic roots, the arrival of the English and the subsequent colonization of the country, and the various rebellions and uprisings that took place throughout Irish history. He argues that the Act of Union was a necessary step towards peace and prosperity for Ireland, despite the opposition of many Irish nationalists at the time. Overall, ""A Postliminious Preface To The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland"" provides a historical and legal context for Plowden's larger work on the state of Ireland, and offers insights into the complex relationship between Ireland and Britain during this period of history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
