Excerpt from The Government of Ireland, Past, Present and Prospective: In Four PartsIt has been asked what has a list Of ancient wrongs to do with the modern aspects Of the question? This that the present is the outcome of the past, and that therefore, in the settlement of the present, the in¿uence Of the past cannot be ignored. Politicians cannot be allowed to cut off and cast into Oblivion a large portion of history, in order that they may have an easy mind and a free hand in dealing with this question. The long chain Of events cannot be separated just where men choose to separate it. All the yesterdays of the world are gathered into the to-day, and for a sound conclusion on Irish affairs it is necessary that we shall have a clear knowledge of the fountain-head of social discontent and national unrest, The selfish policy Of English Governments, the misrule and robbery of English lords and aristocrats, and the spoliations Of English monarchs must not be concealed, while a nation is denounced and crushed by those who are inheriting the fruits Of crime, and theft, and inhumanity.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
