Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Arguments for Home Rule: Being a Series of Speeches Delivered in the Autumn of 1907
While in these pages the justice and the necessity of many reforms in Ireland - educational, financial, agrarian, and social - whose refusal or delay by the British Parliament constitute unanswerable arguments for Home Rule, are urged, sedulous care is taken to explain repeatedly that no ameliorative measures will weaken the determination of the Irish people to gain for Ireland the right to govern herself, which is the end and aim of the Irish National policy. The scheme of this book is very simple. The conditions essential to the success of the Irish National Movement are set forth (chapter i.) the National demand is then formulated and explained (chapter the various arguments for Home Rule are one by one separately considered (chapters iii. -xi. While the series of speeches concludes with an address delivered In Glasgow before the Young Scots' Society, in Which the striking parity of circumstances between Canada and Ireland is detailed, and the parallel between the cases of Canada and of Ireland relied on in urging the application to Ireland of the remedy of Responsible Government, which led in Canada to contentment and prosperity. I have, with Mr. Redmond's permission, added here and there some explanatory notes, which may be of interest to British readers in the study of the Irish Question.
