Heritage Books, Inc.. New. The Cromwellian Settlement of Ireland [1652-1660], Third Edition - John P Prendergast “The term ‘Settlement’…means nothing else than the settlement of the balance of land according to the will of the strongest; for force, not reason, is the source of law” “The Cromwellian Settlement is…the history of the dealings of the Commonwealth of England with the lands and habitations of the people of Ireland after their conquest of the country in the year 1652 As their object was rather to extinguish a nation than to suppress a religion, they seized the lands of the Irish, and transferred them (and with them all the power of the state) to an overwhelming flood of new English settlers, filled with the intensest national and religious hatred of the Irish” Chapter One begins with a history of the plantation of Ireland, from the first invasion of the English, under Henry II, to the Cromwellian Settlement Chapter Two details the Irish Rebellion of October 23, 1641… Read More

New York: P.M. Haverty, 1868. The major work by John Patrick Prendergast (1808-1893), considered the "first and seminal work in the area" (Jameel Hampton). A.M. Sullivan said it was "one of the most remarkable books ever printed in the English language." This may be hyperbole, but this is an important work of scholarship. Although available electronically and in reprint, the original is EXTREMELY SCARCE. This is a Very Good copy of the First American Edition. Green cloth binding, stamped in the blind, with spine lettering and a harp on both covers filled with gilt. Clean text, bright and free of marking; 288 pages, with an index of subjects, an index of names, and three maps. Both free endpapers appear to have been torn out, but there is a penciled previous-owner name and address on the front paste-down. From the style of penmanship, Quercus ventures that it is contemporary. The corners are bumped, and the covers have a bit of bubbling and mottling. No dustjacket. Size: 8vo - over… Read More
