A Letter To Lord Howick On A Legal Provision For The Irish Poor, Commutation Of Tithes, And A Provision For The Irish Roman Catholic Clergy (1831)

''A Letter to Lord Howick on a Legal Provision for the Irish Poor, Commutation of Tithes, and a Provision for the Irish Roman Catholic Clergy'' is a historical book written by Nassau William Senior in 1831. The book is a letter addressed to Lord Howick, who was a British politician at the time, discussing the issues of poverty and religious discrimination faced by the Irish people. The book focuses on three main topics: the legal provision for the Irish poor, the commutation of tithes, and a provision for the Irish Roman Catholic clergy. Senior argues that the Irish poor were in desperate need of assistance, and that a legal provision was necessary to ensure that they were properly cared for. He also discusses the controversial issue of tithes, which were payments made to the Church of Ireland by Irish Catholics. Senior suggests that the commutation of tithes would be a fairer system, as it would allow Catholics to pay a fixed amount instead of being forced to pay a percentage of their income to the Church. Finally, Senior addresses the issue of the Irish Roman Catholic clergy, who were not recognized by the British government at the time. He argues that a provision should be made to allow these clergy members to be recognized and supported by the government, as they played an important role in the Irish community. Overall, ''A Letter to Lord Howick on a Legal Provision for the Irish Poor, Commutation of Tithes, and a Provision for the Irish Roman Catholic Clergy'' is an important historical document that sheds light on the struggles faced by the Irish people in the early 19th century. Senior’s arguments and proposals for change provide valuable insight into the political and social climate of the time, and continue to be relevant to discussions of poverty, religious discrimination, and government support for marginalized communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
