Excerpt from The Indictment: July, 1919A word about the author of the following remarkable pamphlet. Without doubt the paper 15 one of the most powerful and unique polemics yet produced by Ireland's most recent struggle for independence.To the Irish race in America, and the friends of Ireland's cause, the author, Daniel Florence Cobalan, stands out as a strong national and international figure. Above all else, he is to them a 100 per cent Ameri can, whose fight for Ireland's liberty grows directly out of his American character and principles.He is a native of the State of New York, born at Middletown. He is in the full vigor of middle age. Of the pure Celtic strain of the fighting race, members of his family have been in every war for America from the Revolution on.He is a graduate of Manhattan College, of New York City. Admitted to the Bar in 1888, for many years he practiced law in New York. He became interested in politics, and, over a course of years, wrote the State and City platforms of one of the great parties In the year 1911 he was appointed to the Supreme Court bench of the State of New York and, in the following election, he was elected to a full term of fourteen years.From the days of his youth he was interested in the cause of Ireland, and constantly worked and spoke in her behalf. He has visited Ireland many times, has a beautiful country place near Cork, and, oddly enough, knows England almost as well as he knows Ireland. He has been many times a visitor of both countries and is a close student of their histories.No man in this country is better acquainted with the strength and weakness of England, and no one is more familiar than he with the methods of conquest and exploitation by which the world-wide British Empire has been built up.He has made a complete study of the economic factors underlying the struggle between England and Ireland. This arsenal of knowledge, joined with a direct, simple, forceful style of speaking, makes him one of the most convincing and powerful speakers in the United States. His logic is inexorable. This quality, joined with great legal attainments, has given him a reputation as one of the soundest and most capable Judges of the Supreme Bench of the State of New York.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
