Sinopsis

A Letter To Lord Viscount Castlereagh (1819) is a political treatise written by John Cam Hobhouse. The book is a scathing critique of the British government?s policies towards Ireland, particularly the repressive measures taken against Irish nationalists. Hobhouse argues that the government?s actions are not only unjust but also counterproductive, as they only serve to fuel resentment and rebellion among the Irish people.The book is structured as an open letter to Lord Castlereagh, who was the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs at the time. Hobhouse addresses Castlereagh directly, accusing him of being out of touch with the realities of Irish life and of being more interested in maintaining British power than in addressing the grievances of the Irish people.Throughout the book, Hobhouse draws on his own experiences in Ireland, where he had traveled extensively and had become acquainted with many of the leading Irish nationalists. He provides a detailed account of the social and economic conditions in Ireland, as well as the history of British rule in the country.Hobhouse?s Letter To Lord Viscount Castlereagh was a controversial work at the time of its publication, and it remains a significant document in the history of Irish nationalism. The book is a powerful indictment of British imperialism and a passionate call for justice and equality for the Irish people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
