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.

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.

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 Home Rule written by John Joseph Horgan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Home Rule: A Critical Consideration I AM indebted to the Editor of the leader for permis sion to republish in book form the following articles, which first appeared in his paper and were written at his request. They are an attempt to explain in a clear and businesslike way what Nationalist Ireland means by Home Rule. My object in writing them was two fold., First to awaken intelligent discussion in Ireland concerning the details of Home Rule, and secondly to place a clear statement of Ireland's demand before fair minded Englishmen. It was indeed 'to compass the second of these objects that this book has been pub lished. I have taken as the standard for discussion the Home Rule Bill of 1893, because I do not believe, that Irish public opinion will be satisfied with anything less, and because I hope that English statesmen will have the courage and foresight to give us something more. One specious argument is frequently used against a generous Home Rule Bill by politicians of the Devolu tion school. Stated shortly it amounts to this, that Home Rule should be granted by instalments because Ireland is not prepared for a measure of full self-govern ment. Nothing could be more absurd. The adminis tretiye government of every country is really carried on by the permanent officials. The representatives of the people who form the party government of the day simply direct and influence the permanent officials. Nowhere is this more apparent than in England, where the government of the day always acts on consultation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Price of Home Rule Mr. Asquith's declaration with regard to Home Rule, made on December loth, 1909, revived an issue which, so far as England is concerned, had lain almost dormant since 1893, although the question never slept in Ireland. The immediate effects of that declaration were two. One was to engage the Irish Roman Catholic vote in this island to the Liberal cause; the other, to rouse Ulster, which is Loyal Ireland, to a sense of her danger. As regards English people, the moral of the situation was, and is, the fact that the Prime Minister deliberately proposed to concede the demands of the Nationalist party in Ireland, in return for their help in abolishing the veto (as it is called) of the House of Lords.

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.

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.
