Irish History And The Irish Question Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Irish Question There is no more persistent and troublesome problem in modern politics than the Irish Question. It will not down. Year after year various expedients fail and the columns of the daily press are filled with new stories of unrest. Commissions have Investigated and reported. Travellers have raced through the island and come back to America to lecture and write upon the subject. All over America volunteer societies are raising money to finance some cause or other within the island. The country has been flooded with pamphlets and leaflets which seek to enlist sympathy for one or the other of the two sides of the question. To the average man the whole case is so bewildering and the understanding so uncertain that he cannot tell you what it is all about. Terms like Sinn Fein, Ulster, Unionist, Home Rule, Act of Union, Nationalist, etc., are mingled with all manner of confusion in his mind. It is for the purpose of stating the issues so that the plain man of the street may get a bird's eye view of the whole case that this pamphlet has been prepared.
