Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland and the Home Rule Movement The great tendency which has been so marked a feature of Irish life in the course of the last decade to turn the attention of the people towards efforts at self improvement and the development of self-reliance without regard to English aid, English neglect, or English Opinion, excellent though it has been in every other respect, has had this one drawback - that there has grown up a generation of Englishmen, well intentioned towards our country, to whom the problems of Irish Government are an unknown quantity. The ignorance of Irish affairs in England is due partly to ourselves, but also to a natural heed lessness arising from distance and preoccupation with problems with which Englishmen are more intimately concerned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irish Home Rule The balance-sheet showing Ireland's true revenue, which appears on page 93, is drawn up by Mr John J. Horgan, and in uenced, I think, by the letters of Mr R. A. Atkins. I believe it to be substantially accurate. I am also indebted to Professor T. M. Kettle, whose raid into Irish finance has deeply affected the political situation. I am sorry that, at this critical moment in the history of Ireland, Parliament is deprived of the light which this brilliant young Irishman could shed upon the problem. It always happens to every writer that his work is old the moment it is completed. I am no exception to the rule. Events are now moving with such rapidity that every day brings forth some new and important fact in connection with the Home Rule controversy. To avoid misunderstanding, therefore, I would like to remark that this' very inadequate study was practically completed by 31st December 1911. I have since successfully resisted every impulse to cut and chop and change my written word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Merits of Home Rule in Ireland The conditions surrounding and governing the settlement of the Irish question are so widely different from those which prevail in this country that it is well nigh impossible for an American to comprehend, much less to explain the cons1derations involved in the detailspi the Home Rule Bill. The social and political institutions of Great Britain and Ireland are characterized by peculiarities which have no correspondent whatever in the political institutions of this country. I refer especially to ecclesiasticism in politics, to in herited religious prejudices, to the moral in ﬂuence of historical events in the course of the developement of the country, to the ih ﬂuence of class dist1nctions, in' social and po' litical affairs and especially the institution of a hereditary nobility, to the nature and ex tent of landed proprietorships and their rela tion to the agricultural classes, to the law of primogeniture and entail, and to the inci dents of a monarchy cherished by a people who in the detail of their governmental sys tem have in certain particulars taken hold on democratic ideas even more vigorously than ourselves.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Against Home Rule: The Case for the Union This book, for which I have been asked to write a short preface, presents the case against Home Rule for Ireland The articles are written by men who not only have a complete grasp of the subjects upon which they write, but who in most cases, from their past experience and from their personal influence, are well entitled to outline the Irish policy of the Unionist Party. Ours is not merely a policy of hostility to Home Rule, but it is, as it has always been, a constructive policy for the regeneration of Ireland. We are opposed to Home Rule because, in our belief, it would seriously weaken our national position; because it would put a stop to the remarkable increase of prosperity in Ireland which has resulted from the Land Purchase Act; and because it would inflict intolerable injustice on the minority in Ireland, who believe that under a Government controlled by the men who dominate the United Irish League neither their civil nor their religious liberty would be safe. To create within the United Kingdom a separate Parliament with an Executive Government responsible to that Parliament would at the best mean a danger of friction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home Rule Bill Even then he desired to do a good work for Ireland and Home Rule, and wished that his successor in the Premiership should be Lord Spencer. In this again he was over-ruled, and Lord Rosebery became the next Prime Minister. For two miserable years the Liberal Government dragged on an ignoble existence, ploughing the sands, to use Mr. Asquith's pregnant phrase. The Newcastle Programme was proceeded with, and what was called the policy of filling the cup was adopted by the Liberal Party, with the result that Home Rule almost entirely disappeared in the whirlpool created by a multitude of questions which excited the most vehement Opposition throughout the country. A dry-rot set in in the Liberal Party, and when the General Election finally came in 1895 it was not in any sense fought on the issue of Home Rule; and therefore the defeat of the Government in 1895 cannot with any measure of truth be regarded as a defeat of Home Rule.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Two Irish Nations: An Essay on Home Rule Even while occupied with his great task of writing the "Life of Lord Beaconsfield," William Flavelle Monypenny was able, from time to time, to make valued contributions to the columns of The Times. He spent the earlier months of the year 1912 in Ireland as the papers Special Correspondent, and then wrote the series of articles which form Part I. of this volume. The articles were published in The Times between the dates of January 27 and April 15, 1912;under the title which they now bear, namely - "Ireland and Home Rule." The articles which form Part II. were published almost immediately after the conclusion of the former series, namely on April 26, 27, 29, and 30, 1912.In his work as a journalist, Mr. Monypenny was always intensely in earnest and inspired by high and patriotic ideas. These fourteen articles represent the last of a long series of public services which he rendered with his pen. It was his desire that they should be re-issued in a more permanent form, an honour to which their merit obviously entitles them.

During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries the country was devastated by rebellions, insurrections, and religious persecution, while her industrial activities were strangled by the short-sighted jealousy of English commercial interests. After the Union in 1800 the restoration of Irish prosperity was to some extent retarded by a combination of political blunders and the genesis of a period of violent and criminal agitation following on the terrible misery caused by the potato famine. This is the aspect that those who only know Ireland through the voice of the agitator love to dwell upon. But the dawn of the twentieth century witnessed the effects of the deliberate policy of the regeneration of Ireland, begun by the Unionist party in the eighties and carried out in the face of persistent obstruction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Military Danger of Home Rule for Ireland IN venturing to touch on the vexed Irish question, my excuse must be that my family, after many, centuries in Scotland, spent two hundred years in Ireland from the middle of the seventeenth to that of the nineteenth century. They there lived the quiet life of country-gentlemen in King's County; and also of British soldiers throughout the world, at all events from the days of Marlborough's great victories, in which they took part. In the present revolution under which we suffer, the British constitution has been uprooted, and we are now threatened with the dismemberment of the United Kingdom as well.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Rule Through Federal Devolution The schemes for Home Rule for Ireland hitherto pro pounded seem mostly to have been evolved by conceiving the Idea of a perfect constitution, after the manner of 'plato's Republic, and endeavouring to reconcile it with the facts, by a system of checks and counterchecks as complicated as the cycles and epicycles of the Ptolemaic Astronomy. The Times approaches the question by the common-sense, if prosaic, method of first ascertaining the real facts - always a matter of extreme difficulty in Ireland - and thereon founding a plan, adapted, as far as possible, to the actual conditions of the problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Home Rule Movement My friend, John O'Connor Power, once famous as "the Member for Mayo," gave me, shortly before his death in February, 1919, the papers he had collected in the course of his unique political career - commencing as an Irish Fenian and ending as a British Liberal. "Make what use you like of them," he says in his letter to me, "subject to one condition - they must not be made the basis of an attack upon any Irishman." It was easy for me to set O'Connor Powers mind at rest on that point. I am a historical writer, - of a sort, perhaps; but, most certainly, not a political pamphleteer. As such, I have no antipathies or prejudices. As such, I do not feel myself called upon to defend and justify, any more than I do to: . condemn and assail. What I like to think I have is sympathy with the aspirations of human nature, and pity for its struggles in the coil of adverse Fate. My sole object is simply to try to describe, to explain, to interpret, the principles and personalities of the Home Rule Movement from its rise under Isaac Butt in 1870 to its fall under John Dillon in 1918, as just one act in the extraordinary political and social drama of Ireland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Irish Situation Five years have elapsed since the Easter Rising of 1916; six and a half since the outbreak of European War; eight since the formation of the Ulster Volunteer Force. These are the main marking points in the evolution which has transformed Ireland from a peaceful country into a theatre of operations for three armed forces, all differing in purpose and control; these milestones mark stages for Ireland on a new track of political development. But survey of the situation must begin a good deal farther back if it is to be intelligent, or intelligible to the general reader who has not closely followed Irish affairs. At the joining point between this century and the last the South African War furnished illustration of the permanent contradictions which characterise the relations between Ireland and Great Britain.
