Excerpt from The Home Rule MovementMy 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 end ing as a British Liberal. Make What use you like of them, he says in his letter to me, sub ject 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 Power's 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
