Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book discusses a proposal at the time for Ireland and England to unite into one nation under a single parliament. The author vehemently argues against this, presenting the many ways in which both England and Ireland would suffer harm, especially Ireland. Firstly, a union would lead to the end of the Irish Parliament and the loss of its ability to protect Irish taxes, laws and finances. Secondly, the Irish people would lose their most important incentive to improve their country through commerce and manufacturing. Thirdly, giving the British government control of Irish taxes would lead to unfair taxation to the detriment of the Irish people and economy, which would suffer from the consequent loss of wealth and incentive to work. The book concludes by noting that England would also suffer from the loss of Ireland's military and economic support. It emphasizes that the union would create instability and injustice, and should be considered a serious threat to the well-being of both countries.
