註釋This is the first major study of the Irish House of Lords. Though less important than the Commons, the Lords was a viable and important part of the Irish government throughout the eighteenth century. It approved all legislation and initiated some. Many peers also controlled parliamentary boroughs. This study concentrates on the largely resident peers who attended parliament. It discusses their origins, education, marriages, careers, and economic position. These peers were conscientious public servants who looked at issues seriously and occasionally voted contrary to the wishes of the government of the day. -- Publishers description
