Excerpt from Ireland Exhibited to England, in a Political and Moral Survey of Her Population, and in a Statistical and Scenographic Tour of Certain Districts, Vol. 1: Comprehending Specimens of Her Colonisation, Natural History and Antiquities, Arts, Sciences, and Commerce, Customs, Character, and Manners, Seats, Scenes and Sea Views; Violent Inequalities in Her Political and Social System, the Sours of Her Disorders

If, indeed, the period is approaching, in which Ireland is to be governed by a peaceful policy, this union of the clergy of the two churches in a constitutional compact for the improvement of their country, is the very first measure To BE adopted. There are other measures essential to the prosperity of Ireland, briefly noticed in this work; but as it is not from the Irish administra tion, separate from England, that these may be expected to proceed, the Author has directed his attention to objects more deep and vital to the interests of Ireland, than the transitory acts of administration; and if these acts, in any instance, have shed aray of light upon the Author's page, it was to exhibit the inadequacy of the existing remedies to the diseases of the country, in the absence of those legislative provisions, for which he strenuously pleads in the political sections of this work and in a posture of petition prostrates himself at the threshold of the state, that his bleed ing country, if a member of the British family, may no longer be abandoned to her distempers, as an outcast and alien from the English commom wealth.
