The Belfast Politics, Enlarged: Being a Compendium of the Political History of Ireland, for the Last Forty Years (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Belfast Politics, Enlarged: Being a Compendium of the Political History of Ireland, for the Last Forty Years

Before, I proceed to give to my readers those celebrated political productions which so powerfullydirected the mind of our country from 1769 to 1796, I have considered that it would not be a bad mode of estimating the labors of modern patriots, to take a retrospective view of the state of that coun try, whose liberties they had asserted, and Whose feelings they had defended. I therefore have endeavoured to give a rapid but comprehensive history of my country from that sera, from which British freedom has so often been dated, and have brought it down to that year, when the labors of our Irish Patriots commence their great and benevolent work. Thus will I present to my readers a volume every way worthy of their protection and thus will I be the instrument of mecrin ing to the memory of Ireland those memorials of their genius, their learning and their patriotism, which should never be for gotten.
