A valuable work on the persistent, organised, and frequenntly violent
peasant resistance that had characterised the Irish countryside from the
18C, by a leading statesman, political philosopher and scholar. In
August 1833 he was appointed assistant-commissioner to inquire into
the conditions of the poorer classes in Ireland and in Dec 1833 was
directed to make a particular inquiry into the state of Irish labourers in
Lancaster and Scotland. On 4 June 1834 he was made member of a
commission of inquiry into the state of religious instruction in Ireland.
He used the research gained on these inquiries to produce this, a very
valuable account of the causes of unrest in Ireland: characteristically
detailed, exhaustive, descriptive and prescriptive. Dismissing racial
stereotypes, he elegantly summed up the problem: disturbances were a
result of poverty, poverty arose from subdivision of land, which could be
prevented by wide-scale clearances and restructuring of estates, this,
however, would leave labourers destitute, inevitably giving rise to more
disturbances. The answer was to provide the alternative of legal relief;
he therefore recommended the extension of the English poor law to
Ireland.

Henrietta St / Dublin” on flyleaf: very good.
Davies (1569-1626) English poet and lawyer, who became attorney
general in Ireland and formulated many of the legal principles that
underpinned the British Empire. In political terms, he was significant in
his work on constitutional law and in framing the terms of the
Plantation of Ulster, a model that served the English crown as it
extended its colonial reach in North America and elsewhere. In literary
terms, he was a fine poet who lay quite neglected from the mid-17C,
until his cause was championed by T. S. Eliot.
