[PARNELL ( Wm. )]. An inquiry, into the causes of popular discontents in Ireland. By an Irish country gentleman. Second edition, with alterations, and a preface. London printed, and Dublin re-printed, by H. Fitzpatrick, 1805FIRST IRISH EDITION, pages xvi, 72, without the half-title, 8vo, recent paper wrapper : some light staining, but still a very good copy.Alleges persecution to be the real cause of disaffection among Irish Roman catholics and advocates the removal of their grievances. "Although part of the protestant ascendancy, Parnell opposed the union and was a staunch defender of the Catholics. He maintained good relations with his tenants at a time when land agitation was almost endemic. In 1804 he published, at London, An Inquiry into the Causes of Popular Discontents in Ireland, a partly satirical pamphlet calling for Catholic emancipation, which ran to three editions by 1805. In 1806 he responded to the controversy it had provoked in Observations explanatory and critical, on a pamphlet entitled, ‘An inquiry into the causes of popular discontents in Ireland’, also published in pamphlet form in London and Dublin." - ODNB.ALSO WITH THIS LOT: (1) STAUNTON ( Michael ).
