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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book The Home Rule Movement Classic Reprint written by Michael MacDonagh and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 306 pages. 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.

Download or read book The Truth About Home Rule Classic Reprint written by Pembroke Wicks and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Home Rule The misfortunes of Ireland are a commonplace of history. 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 Peril of Home Rule As an Ulsterman, representing an Ulster con stituency, and deeply interested in the welfare of my native land, as well as in the continued prosperity d the United Kingdom, of which she is still happily an integral part, and being convinced that the estab lishment of Home Rule means disaster both to Ireland and to the great British Empire, I have c endeavoured in this little volume to set forth, in as brief a space as possible, the many arguments which seem to me conclusive against such a disastrous policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 out line 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.

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.

Download or read book Ireland a Study in Nationalism Classic Reprint written by Francis Hackett and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ireland a Study in Nationalism Dear Lady Desart, It was through your great kindness in 1913 that I was enabled to begin this book. I had most in mind, at that time, the direct upbuilding of which you and Captain Cuffe had given such models in Kilkenny - the woollen mills and the woodworks and tobacco culture. When I came back to the United States, as I wrote you, I was thinking almost altogether of the needless disorganizations of Irish life, and I believed there were corresponding organizations of American life which could be adapted to Ireland. An American might not easily imagine the salient educative facts that would strike an Irishman, but I was convinced that we could apply to ourselves much that had been quietly developing in the ways of equipping and directing and cultivating American citizenship. In spite of Ulster and Sir Edward Carson, national and imperial issues were scarcely in my mind at all, until August, 1914. Since August, 1914, we have seen Ireland grow more and more uneasy in the powerful currents that are sweeping through the world. With the coming of the war I confess I lost hold on my first intentions and have never been able to take them up again.

The Home Rule Bill was accepted by all Nationalist Ireland in good faith as a fair measure of self-government. A vast open - air meeting was held in Dublin to endorse this acceptance, and among the speakers was Patrick Pearse, who stood on a platform outside the General Post Office, where four years later he was to launch his rebellion. Rejection by the Lords was foreseen; but it was assumed that since this had been made the test question for the trial of strength between the hereditary and the elected Houses, British democracy would not give way.
