Published in 1799, 'Strictures on a Pamphlet entitled Arguments for and against an Union between Great Britain and Ireland considered' is a scathing critique of Irish nationalist arguments for secession from the United Kingdom. Its author, John Humfrey, was a prominent Tory politician and intellectual, and in this book he makes a case for the benefits of unity and the dangers of division. This book is a fascinating window into the political debates of the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
