Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a proposal to King James I written in 1605 by Sir John Harington. Harington proposes that he himself, a courtier, soldier, and writer, should be appointed to the offices of the Lord Chancellor of Ireland and the Archbishop of Dublin simultaneously. Harington argues that he has served the Crown in various capacities and that his knowledge of the Irish people and their customs would make him an effective administrator of both offices. He also claims that he has always been a supporter of the Crown and the Church of England, and that he is a man of learning and good moral character. The book provides insight into the political and religious situation in Ireland at the time and into the nature of royal patronage in the early Stuart period.
