From the Preface by G.A.Henty: "The evils arising from religious persecution, sectarian hatred, ill-government and oppression, were never more strongly illustrated than by the fact that for a century Ireland, which has since that time furnished us with a large portion of our best soldiers, should have been among our bitterest and most formidable foes, and her sons fought in the ranks of our greatest continental enemy. It was not because they were adherents of the house of Stuart that Irishmen left thei rnative country to take service abroad, but because life in Ireland was rendered well-nigh intolerable for Catholics on account of the nature and severity of the laws against them and the bitterness with which those laws were carried into effect. An Irish Catholic had no prospects of employment or advancement at home. He could hold no civil appointment of any kind; he could not serve as an officer nor even enlist as a private in the army; he could not hold land; he was subject to imprisonment and even death on the most trifling and frivolous accusations brought against him by the satellites of the Irish Government. Not only could he not sit in the parliament of Dublin, but he could not even vote at elections.etc. etc." Sprache: english. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 29689AB
