Strictures On Mr. O'Connell's Letters To The Wesleyan Methodists, Etc. - George Cubitt - Bog

""Strictures On Mr. O�������Connell�������s Letters To The Wesleyan Methodists, Etc.: With A Postscript"" is a book written by George Cubitt and published in 1840. The book is a critique of the letters written by Daniel O'Connell, a prominent Irish politician and Catholic leader, to the Wesleyan Methodists in Ireland. O'Connell had written these letters to persuade the Methodists to support his campaign for Catholic emancipation in Ireland. Cubitt, a Protestant clergyman, takes issue with O'Connell's arguments and accuses him of using ""sophistry and misrepresentation"" to win over the Methodists. He argues that O'Connell's campaign for Catholic emancipation would lead to the ""subversion of Protestantism"" in Ireland and the establishment of a ""Catholic ascendancy"" that would be detrimental to the interests of Protestants. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which analyzes a different aspect of O'Connell's letters. Cubitt examines O'Connell's arguments in detail and provides counterarguments based on his own understanding of Irish history and politics. He also criticizes O'Connell's character and accuses him of being a ""political demagogue"" who is more interested in personal gain than in the welfare of Ireland.The book ends with a postscript in which Cubitt responds to some of the criticisms that had been leveled against him since the publication of the book. He defends his arguments and reiterates his belief that Catholic emancipation would be a disaster for Ireland. Overall, ""Strictures On Mr. O�������Connell�������s Letters To The Wesleyan Methodists, Etc.: With A Postscript"" is a polemical work that reflects the religious and political tensions of 19th-century Ireland. It provides insight into the debates surrounding Catholic emancipation and the role of religion in Irish society at the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
