Synopsis
Excerpt from A Critical Examination of Irish History, Vol. 2 of 2: Being a Replacement of the False by the True From the Elizabethan Conquest to the Legislative Union of 1800
It is manifest that, if Pitt's proposition had been accepted, it would not have required a penny from Ireland, until her wealth and prosperity had been developed by the new concessions to her commerce proposed in the treaty. The contribution to be granted under Pitt's proposition, namely, the surplus of the Hereditary Revenue, after deducting for the support of the Irish establishments, would have been exactly commensurate with the benefits Ireland would reap from the new arrangement. If that arrangement was followed by an increase of commerce, wealth and population, the increase was to be devoted to the defence of the empire. If no such results ensued, Ireland would not contribute anything. Pitt's plan was tantamount to a declaration of this kind: I am about to offer you facilities for extending your commerce such as you never before possessed. I believe they will be followed by a great increase in your trade, but as you may not think so, keep your revenue as it is at present. All I ask is, that if there be a surplus arising from the extension of commerce now granted to you, it shall be devoted to our common safety.
