[521] _England_.--"The diet, housing, and clothing of the 16,000
families above-mentioned [those were the middle class] is much the same
as in England; nor is the French elegance unknown in many of them, nor
the French and Latin tongues. The latter whereof is very frequent among
the poorest Irish, and chiefly in Kerry, most remote from
Dublin."--_Political Anatomy of Ireland_, Petty, p. 58.

[525] _Head_.--The tract entitled _Killing no Murder_, which had
disturbed Cromwell's "peace and rest," and obliged him to live almost as
a fugitive in the country over which he had hoped to reign as a
sovereign, still left its impression on English society. The miserable
example of a royal execution was a precedent which no amount of
provocation should have permitted.

year 1683, has been published in the _Ulster Arch. Jour._ vol. iii. p.
194, which fully bears out this statement, and is of immense value in
determining the general state of Irish commerce at this period. There
are, however, some mistakes in the quotations of statistics, probably
misprints.

[532] _Roman Catholics_.--The noisy and violent opposition which was
made to a Catholic if he attempted to enter either a trade or a
profession, would scarcely be credited at the present day; yet it should
be known and remembered by those who wish to estimate the social state
of this country accurately and fairly. After the Revolution, the
Protestant portion of the Guild of Tailors petitioned William III. to
make their corporation exclusively Protestant, and their request was
granted.
