Letters On The Land Question Of Ireland (1870) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120314475)

Letters On The Land Question Of Ireland is a book written by William O'Connor Morris in 1870. It is a collection of letters that Morris wrote to different newspapers and individuals, expressing his views on the land question in Ireland during the 19th century. The land question was a major issue in Ireland at the time, as the majority of the land was owned by wealthy landlords, while the majority of the population were tenant farmers who had limited rights and were often subjected to high rents and evictions. Morris argues in his letters that the solution to the land question is to give the Irish people ownership of the land they work on, rather than continuing the system of landlordism. He also discusses the role of the government in addressing the issue and suggests that they should intervene to protect the rights of tenant farmers. The book provides a valuable insight into the political and social climate of Ireland during the 19th century and the ongoing struggle for land reform. Morris's arguments are well-researched and articulate, making this book an important contribution to the literature on Irish history and politics. Overall, Letters On The Land Question Of Ireland is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the history of Ireland or the issue of land ownership and reform.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
