Excerpt from Aspects of Home Rule, Vol. 2 It must be twenty years or more since I first addressed this Association upon this subject. Our meetings at that time were followed, first, by the rejection of the Home Rule Bill by the House of Lords, secondly, by the loudly expressed approval of the country of the course which the Second Chamber took on that occasion. The blow which we then dealt at the cause of separation has sufficed to keep it quiet seventeen or eighteen years. Slowly it has begun to revive, and our opponents, remembering the double check which they received, first in 1886, and then in 1893, and knowing what fate would await their scheme if it was first riddled by criticism in the House of Commons, then discussed and rejected in the House of Lords, and then referred to the people, have taken their precautions.
