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.
