Text in English
======================================
 It examines English-Irish relations, political maneuvering, laws, and social tensions throughout the 1700s, leading up to late-century reform movements and insurrection.

Influenced by Thomas Carlyle, Froude's writing is strongly polemical.
It elevates Protestantism over Roman Catholicism and argues that Ireland's historical troubles stemmed from insufficient English control rather than too much, defending stronger intervention and the legacy of policies under figures like Oliver Cromwell.

The work drew heavy criticism from contemporary historians, the Catholic Church, and Anglican High Churchmen for its strong bias, imperialist framing, and selective interpretation of manuscript sources.
