Book Description
This book is about the transformation of England’s trade and government finances in the mid-seventeenth century, a revolution that destroyed Ireland. In 1642 a small group of merchants, the ‘Adventurers for Irish land’, raised an army to conquer Ireland but sent it instead to fight for parliament in England. Meeting secretly at Grocers Hall in London from 1642 to 1660, they laid the foundations of England’s empire and modern fiscal state. But a dispute over their Irish land entitlements led them to reject Cromwell’s Protectorate and plot to restore the monarchy. This is the first book to chart the relentless rise of the Adventurers and their profound political influence. It is essential reading for students of Britain and Ireland in the mid-seventeenth century, the origins of England’s empire and the Cromwellian land settlement.

Book Description
First published in 1881, under the title of "The Irish Land Question," but dealing, as it does with matters of universal and permanent importance, it still retained its value and popularity in 1893, when the title was changed. Meant as an attack on Herbert Spencer for a position taken up by him ten years ago it was rather late in its appearance.
The Irish land question, impartially considered, by a close observer of long local experience, and one who has had opportunities of world-wide comparisons

Book Description
Excerpt from Irish Land and Irish Liberty: A Study of the New Lords of the Soil Great changes have taken, and are taking, place in the ownership of Irish land. Great political changes are promised and foreshadowed in the near future, as to which the air is full of rumours and counter rumours. The operations of Land Purchase involving hundreds of millions of British capital, subscribed and to be subscribed on the British Treasury's guarantee that the interest will be regularly paid are effecting a revolution, without parallel in English history, by transferring the freehold of the most fertile area in the United Kingdom from a body of landlords, who have long been called The Protestant Garrison, to a body of owner-occupiers, nearly nine-tenths of whom are Catholics. And yet there is, perhaps, no class in the British Isles about whom such general ignorance prevails as about the new Catholic lords of the soil, who dominate Irish public opinion as represented in Parliament by the Nationalist Party, and on whose good faith the British public have staked a sum of money amount ing to over one-third of the funded National Debt.
