Excerpt from Our Natural Rights: A Pamphlet for the People
The following Pamphlet was written and published by me about seven years ago - before I had, yet, thrown myself upon the turbid current of public life.
The views it contains were drawn from the fount of Nature - and it gives me pride, even at this distant period, that neither the "loyal" doctrines of the Orangemen - nor the sham-patriotism of the "liberals" have polluted a single line of this humble production. It begins by exhibiting the true merits of the British Government - and it proceeds to show the actual position of political affairs in the British Islands.
This was, indeed, necessary, because at the time I speak of the mass of the Irish people knew almost nothing of the system that oppressed them. Religious animosities had taken possession of the whole people. The "loyal Orangeman" was rackrented to the point of starvation, yet he cried "to H - with the Pope' and toasted 'the glorious and immortal memory' with as much zeal as if he were not himself as abject a serf as his Catholic fellow countryman. On the other hand the Catholic would shout praise and glory to any lord or Duke - no matter how tyrannical - who called himsef a 'liberal', and subscribed £10 towards building a Chapel out of the ten thousand which his rapacity wrung annually from the famished tillers of the soil. I therefore began with, delineating the actual nature of the Government, and the actual state of parties - an arrangement that will, I think, be found useful in the present edition.
But the main object of the pamphlet is to discuss, and define the nature, and true extent, of land Ownership. This is a subject which had received no attention in the British Islands up to the publication of this Tract. The unlimited right of a few hundred individuals to appropriate the entire soil to themselves had never been disputed. Often have I heard the Farmer declare that he would not pay Tithe because he did not receive any value from the Parson, but he did not grudge to pay the landlord, because he "gave him value for his money".

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a searing critique of the British government and the societal ills that stem from a system of absolute land ownership. Written before the author entered public life, the book delves into the inner workings of the government, exposing the power held by the aristocracy and the detrimental effects of a system where the majority of people are left impoverished and without any meaningful representation. The book examines the historical roots of land ownership, arguing that the current system, where a select few control vast swathes of land, is a deviation from the original, more equitable model. The author uses biblical references and historical examples to demonstrate the injustices of land ownership and to underscore the idea that land was intended to be held in trust for the common good, not for the enrichment of a privileged few. The book also explores the practical consequences of land ownership, highlighting its impact on the lives of ordinary people and its role in perpetuating poverty and hindering societal progress. It challenges the prevailing notion that land ownership is a natural right, arguing that it is a man-made construct that serves to oppress the many for the benefit of the few. The author concludes that true freedom and happiness can only be achieved by reforming land ownership, ensuring that land is used for the benefit of all, not just a select elite. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
