| Summary: | " The Restoration land settlement in Ireland was one of the most significant events in the revolution in land ownership in the early modern period whereby the ownership of most of the land was transferred from Catholic to Protestant hands, and with it political and economic power. The settlement was regulated by two acts of Parliament, the one familiarly known as the Act of Settlement (1662), the other the Act of Explanation (1665), both of which became the principal legal instruments upon which land tenure in Ireland was to rest for nearly two centuries ... In this study Dr. L. J. Arnold has attempted to resolve the uncertainties surrounding the settlement, using County Dublin as a case study."--Jacket. |
