Mr. Mill's Plan For The Pacification Of Ireland: Examined (1868)

By Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood

Book Overview

Mr. Mill's Plan For The Pacification Of Ireland: Examined is a book written by Frederick Temple Blackwood, also known as Lord Dufferin, in 1868. The book is a critical analysis of John Stuart Mill's proposal for the pacification of Ireland, which had been published in a pamphlet titled ""The Irish Land Question"" the previous year. Dufferin, a British diplomat and politician, argues against Mill's proposal to grant tenants in Ireland the right to purchase their land from landlords at a fair price. Dufferin contends that this plan would not solve the underlying issues of Irish agrarian unrest and would instead lead to further conflict between landlords and tenants. In the book, Dufferin presents a detailed analysis of the historical, economic, and social factors that have contributed to the Irish land question. He also offers alternative solutions to the problem, including the establishment of a system of land courts and the creation of a government-funded land purchase scheme. Overall, Mr. Mill's Plan For The Pacification Of Ireland: Examined is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate over the Irish land question and the broader issue of British-Irish relations in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
