Description

Protestant, planter and political scientist, Sir William Herbert (1553?-1593) was all these things. In the Croftus he set out the ills of contemporary Ireland and what he believed to be their cause. He was also ready with the solutions: Anglicisation, religious conversion and the introduction of ‘civility’.

In this edition, which is the first for over 100 years, the text has been freshly edited and equipped with an English translation, commentary, introduction and appendices designed to facilitate modern readers of this important treatise.
