It begins at the Treaty of Limerick (1689), which helped establish the Protestant Ascendency, and concludes with the Act of Union (1801), which merged the governments of Great Britain and Ireland to form the United Kingdom. Though certainly partisan, it is valuable for Parnell's perspective and detailed knowledge of several crucial events of the 1780s and '90s. \u003cstrong\u003eSir Henry Parnell\u003c\/strong\u003e [1776-1842], later Lord Congleton, was an Anglo-Irish Whig politician and treasury official sympathetic to the plight of Irish Catholics. A prolific author, he published works on penal law, economics and civil engineering. He also published a translation of the Psalms. He was the grand-uncle of the great Irish nationalist leader Charles Stewart Parnell.226, xxii pp.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Henry Parnell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1584773103\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584773108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lawbook Exchange, Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/29\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Henry Parnell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454276808959,"sku":"9781584773108","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_066242f9-7b78-4829-a301-73f0cdbac0c9.jpg?v=1777305232","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-history-of-the-penal-henry-parnell-9781584773108","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
