An Illustrated History of Ireland from AD 400 to 1800

PREFACE
33/45

Their object is to get more land into their own hands, but the policy will eventually prove suicidal.

A revolutionary spirit is spreading fast through Europe.
Already the standing subject of public addresses to the people in England, is the injustice of certain individuals being allowed to hold such immense tracts of country in their possession.

We all know what came of the selfish policy of the landowners in France before the Revolution, which consigned them by hundreds to the guillotine.

A little self-sacrifice, which, in the end, would have been for their own benefit, might have saved all this.

The attempt to depopulate Ireland has been tried over and over again, and has failed signally.
