BY M. CAREY,

AMERICAN

MEMBER OF THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY AND OF THE AMERICAN
ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY, AUTHOR OF THE OLIVE BRANCH, &c. &c.

SECOND EDITION, ENLARGED AND IMPROVED.

"There is not a national feeling that has not been insulted and trodden un-
der foot a national right that has not been withheld, until fear forced it from
the grasp of England; or a dear cancient prejudice that has not been vio-
lated, in that abused country. As Christians, the people of Ireland have been
denied, under penalties and disqualifications, the exercise of the rites of the
Catholic religion, venerable for its antiquity, admirable for its unity; and conse-
crated by the belief of some of the best men that ever breathed. As men, they have
been deprived of the common rights of British subjects, under the pretext that
they were incapable of enjoying them: which pretext had no other foundation
than their resistance of oppression, only the more severe by being sanctioned
by the laws.. England first denied them the means of improvement; and then in-
sulled them with the imputation of barbarism.”—Paulding.
