THE PLAN.
I propose, first, to make an Introduction, in order to show the propriety of a closer inspection into the affairs of Ireland; and this takes up the first chapter, which is to be spent in this introductory matter, and in stating the Popery laws in general, as one leading cause of the imbecility of the country.
CH. II. states particularly the laws themselves, in a plain and popular manner.
CH. III. begins the remarks upon them, under the heads of, 1st, The object,—which is a numerous people; 2ndly, Their means,—a restraint on property; 3rdly, Their instruments of execution,—corrupted morals, which affect the national prosperity.
CH. IV. The impolicy of those laws, as they affect the national security.
CH. V. Reasons by which the laws are supported, and answers to them.
