This book is about the transformation of England's trade and
government finances in the mid-seventeenth century, a revolution
that destroyed Ireland. In 1642 a small group of merchants, the
'Adventurers for Irish land', raised an army to conquer Ireland but
sent it instead to fight for parliament in England. Meeting
secretly at Grocers Hall in London from 1642 to 1660, they laid the
foundations of England's empire and modern fiscal state. But a
dispute over their Irish land entitlements led them to reject
Cromwell's Protectorate and plot to restore the monarchy. This is
the first book to chart the relentless rise of the Adventurers and
their profound political influence. It is essential reading for
students of Britain and Ireland in the mid-seventeenth century, the
origins of England's empire and the Cromwellian land settlement. --
