Synopsis
Excerpt from Autobiography, Vol. 33: A Collection of the Most Instructive and Amusing Lives Ever Published
The iolunteers, after having established the external inde pendence of their country, determined to reform the abuses in its internal constitution, but they sacrificed their patriotism to their bigotry, and at the moment that they clamoured loudest for liberty, laboured to perpetuate the s avery of the great majority of their fellow-countrymen. The cry for re form, was now the whisper of a faction, and not the voice Of a nation; as such the government could afford to disregard it, and the demand was met by a contemptuous refusal. The progress of misgovernment was now accelerated, the sale of peerages to purchase votes, lavish grants of public money.

Autobiography, Vol. 33 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a vivid account of the political turmoil in Ireland during the late 18th century, as told through the first-hand experiences of William Sampson, an Irish lawyer who was imprisoned without trial for his opposition to British rule. Sampson's narrative recounts the systematic oppression and torture inflicted upon the Irish people by the ruling faction. He describes the brutality of the military and the complicity of the government, as well as the rise of the United Irishmen, a revolutionary group seeking independence from British rule. Through Sampson's eyes, we witness the horrors of civil war and the devastating toll it takes on both the oppressed and the oppressors. The book provides a unique and deeply personal insight into a critical period of Irish history, shedding light on the themes of tyranny, resistance, and the indomitable spirit of those fighting for their freedom. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330885550_0
