Note 554 — Chapter XVIII · ON THE CONSTITUTION OF IRELAND (continued 2)
Reading edition
Petty is as ill satisfied with the restoration of lands to the Irish, as they could be with the confiscations. "Of all that claimed innocency, seven in eight obtained it. The restored persons have more than what was their own in 1641, by at least one-fifth. Of those adjudged innocents, not one in twenty were really so."
