The Tithe-Proctor is a novel written by William Carleton and first published in 1885. The story is set in rural Ireland during the early 19th century and follows the life of Thady McQuillan, a young man who becomes a tithe-proctor, a person responsible for collecting tithes from the local farmers on behalf of the Anglican Church. Thady's job brings him into conflict with the local Catholic community, who resent the imposition of the tithe and view it as a form of religious persecution. Thady's own religious beliefs are also tested as he becomes increasingly aware of the injustices inflicted upon the farmers he is tasked with collecting from. The novel explores themes of religion, class, and power, and offers a vivid portrayal of life in rural Ireland during a time of great social and political upheaval. With its richly drawn characters and evocative descriptions of the Irish countryside, The Tithe-Proctor is a compelling and thought-provoking read that remains relevant to contemporary issues of social justice and religious tolerance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
