This book shines a light on a neglected aspect of Irish history: the corrupt creation of noble titles in exchange for political support. Drawing on the private letters of the era, the author presents an inside look at the scandalous inner workings of the Irish Parliament at the time of the Union with Great Britain in 1800. This exposé of aristocratic malfeasance explores the themes of political bribery, the manipulation of the legal system, the suppression of popular movements, and the role of public morality in politics. Providing a valuable resource for scholars of Irish and British history, this book ultimately highlights the enduring importance of ethical governance and the pitfalls of unchecked political power.
