Excerpt from The Wrongs of Ireland: From the Invasion of Henry II The following extracts from "Hibernicae Vindicae," will prove that this oppressed country from the date of the invasion of Henry II, has been almost an uninterrupted scene of warfare, oppression, rapine, arid confiscation. By law, the murder of an Irishman was punishable only by a fine, whereas the murder of an Englishman was a capital offence. Marriage or fosterage with the natives (gossipred) which was a tie of uncommon force, were declared high treason. Forfeiture of land was the penalty if an Englishman using the Irish language, or Irish customs, or Irish apparel, unless security was given to renounce them. Heavy penalties were enacted against such of the English as allowed Irishmen to graze their lands. The property of an Irishman about to depart the country might be seized by an Englishman, who was entitled to one-half as a premium, the other to be forfeited to the king. An Englishman who was robbed by an Irishman, might reprize himself on the whole stripe to which the offender belonged. Englishmen who claimed debts as due by Irishmen, might, in corporate towns, without the aid of a magistrate, seize the property of the debtors, if they came within the precints. And there was nothing to prevent the seizure in the case of a pretended, as well as of a real bonafide debt.

Excerpt from The Spirit's Lament, or the Wrongs of Ireland I am fully prepared to encounter the blustering denunciations and angry anathemata of the termagant Tory Press of Canada; and am equally ready to look with calm indifference - or rather with unaffected scorn - on the malignant maledictions of the public organs of ascendancy and monopoly in the Parent State, should this work reach to the other side of the Atlantic; but the vampire vituperation, ejected by rampant Toryism, or frothing Orangeism, I contemn as heartily as I would despise the venal flattery which they so frequently offer on the altar of prostitution.
