Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the Irish Parliament was brought to a close, beginning with the passing of the Poynings Law in 1494, and culminating in the Act of Union of 1800. The author follows the guidance of letters and declarations relating to the subject, presenting a chronological account of relevant events. Beyond examining the machinations of the British Parliament and its agents in Ireland, the author also considers the views of the Protestant Ascendancy, as well as the stances of the Irish Catholics and Roman Catholic clergy. Notably, the author examines the incentives offered to the Catholic Church in Ireland, including the possibility of state salaries for clergy and official recognition of Maynooth College. The book positions the Act of Union within the broader history of Anglo-Irish relations, offering insight into the motivations of all parties involved and the complex social and political climate of the time.
