    A sketch of the most obvious causes of the poverty, ignorance, and general want of civilization amongst the peasantry of Ireland , and a comparison between their situation and that of the peasantry of Great Britain; with a practicable plan for improving their manners, and for making their circumstances more eligible than they have ever been, chiefly by a liberal attention to the Education Of The Rising Generation, and by the establishment of Poors Laws, and Taxes For Their Permanent Relief. To which are annexed, impartial strictures on the proposed legislative union between Ireland and Britain; questions relative to it, and to the english minister, to a probable land tax, city of dublin trade and manufactures, excess of our population, lawyers, attornies, absentees, reduction of the rates of provisions, house and land rents, places, pensions, &c. By a sincere friend to humanity, to peace, and the constitution.
