A Postliminious Preface To The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland (1804)

""A Postliminious Preface To The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland"" is a book written by Francis Plowden and published in 1804. The book serves as a preface to Plowden's larger work, ""The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland"", which was published in the same year. The preface discusses the concept of postliminy, which is the legal principle that restores a person or thing to its former status after being captured or detained. Plowden uses this principle to argue that Ireland should be restored to its former status as an independent kingdom, rather than being controlled by the British government. Plowden also discusses the history of Ireland, including its ancient Celtic roots, the arrival of the English, and the struggles for independence. He argues that the British government has mistreated the Irish people and suppressed their culture and language. Overall, ""A Postliminious Preface To The Historical Review Of The State Of Ireland"" provides a passionate and detailed argument for Irish independence and a critique of British rule.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
