The Sir David Kirch Collection of Skit Notes - Part Three
S.W.Fores No. 3, for Self, Leinster, Ulster, Munster & Connaught, 2 Pence, 1 January 1819, promising to pay 'Rory O'Bogg Esqr or Bearer, when the Union of the Kingdoms shall have produced a union of Civil & Religious principles', signed by Pat Potatoe and Dermot O'Wisky, with a vignette displaying a map of Ireland, about extremely fine £100-£150

This note is probably a comment on the 'Act of Union 1801', in which The United Kingdom and The Kingdom of Ireland were merged into one nation. While the news itself was slightly out of date by the time this reprint was created in 1819, the message that it might be difficult to truly unite such disparate 'civil and religious principles' remains relevant even to this day!
