Book Overview

The History Of The Penal Laws Enacted Against Roman Catholics is a book written by Richard Robert Madden in 1847. This book provides a comprehensive account of the laws that were enacted against Roman Catholics in Ireland, England, and Scotland from the 16th century up until the 19th century. The author explores the political and religious motivations behind these laws, which were designed to restrict the rights and freedoms of Catholics and to maintain the dominance of the Protestant Church. The book delves into the various forms of discrimination that Catholics faced, including restrictions on their ability to own property, practice their religion, and hold public office. It also examines the impact of these laws on Irish society, particularly during the period of the Penal Laws in the 18th century, which saw widespread persecution and poverty among the Catholic population. Overall, The History Of The Penal Laws Enacted Against Roman Catholics is an important historical document that sheds light on a dark period of Irish and British history.The Operation And Results Of That System Of Legalized Plunder, Persecution, And Proscription, Originating In Rapacity And Fraudulent Designs, Concealed Under False Pretenses, Figments Of Reform, And A Simulated Zeal For The Interests Of True Religion.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
