Page 96 - The Roman catholics of this kingdom shall enjoy such privileges in the exercise of their religion, as are consistent with the laws of Ireland, or as they did enjoy in the reign of king Charles II...
Page 311 - ... has Ireland, as Ireland, to complain of with regard to Great Britain ; unless the protection of the most powerful country upon earth, — giving all her privileges, without exception, in common to Ireland, and reserving to herself only the painful preeminence of ten-fold burthens, be a matter of complaint.
Page 284 - I wish very much to see, before my death, an image of a ' primitive Christian Church. With little improvements, I think the Roman Catholic Church of Ireland very capable of exhibiting that state of things.
Page 448 - Admiralty had refused to comply.' 2 Meanwhile the health of Burke had not improved. On the 24th of May he left Bath to return to Beaconsfield and die. The last letter from his pen on record bears date the 23rd. On the 21st we find him write to Mrs. Crewe as follows :—' All hopes of any recovery to me from any thing which art or nature can supply being totally at an end, and the fullest trial having been given to these waters without any sort of effect, it is thought advisable that I should be taken...
Page 311 - Catholics with this Government. It is not as an English Government that Ministers act in that manner, but as assisting a party in Ireland. When they talk of dissolving themselves as a Catholic body, and mixing their grievances with those of their country, all I have to say is, that they lose their own importance as a body by this amalgamation ; and they sink real matters of complaint in those which are factious and imaginary. For, in the name of God, what grievance has Ireland, as Ireland, to complain...
Page 66 - You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea.
Page 240 - It was not till yesterday that Mr. King had an opportunity of showing me your letter to him of the 14th. I flatter myself I shall have best met your wishes with respect to the present grant out of the Civil List by directing it to be made out to yourself, for your life and that of Mrs. Burke, to commence from the 5th of January, 1793. With respect to the remaining part of the arrangement, which requires the assistance of Parliament, my idea of it has been exactly what you understood, and it will...
Page 298 - ... whatever, if I were in the place of these reverend persons, I would resist; and would much rather trust to God's good providence, and the contributions of your own people, for the education of your clergy, than to put into the hands of your known, avowed, and implacable enemies — into the hands of those who make it their merit and their boast, that they are your enemies — the very fountains of your morals and your religion. I have considered this matter at large, and at various times, and...
Page 229 - ... would communicate to posterity the living blessings of your genius and your virtue. Your friends may now condole with you, that you should have now no other prospect of immortality than that which is common to Cicero or to Bacon ; such as can never be interrupted while there exists the beauty of order, or the love of virtue ; and can fear no death, except what barbarity may impose on the globe. If the same strength of reason which could persuade any other man to bear any misfortune, can administer...
Page 536 - In all your deliberations you will undoubtedly bear in mind the true grounds and origin of the war. An attack was made on us and on our allies, founded on principles which tend to destroy all property, to subvert the laws and religion of every civilized nation, and to introduce universally that wild and destructive system of rapine, anarchy, and impiety, the effects of which, as they have already been manifested in France, furnish a dreadful but useful lesson to the present age and to posterity.
