Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on the Irish National Question The following letters appeared in some of the Irish journals at various dates between the end of last April and the present time. They are republished in the present form, with the hope that they may serve in some measure to excite the attention of the upper and middle classes of Irishmen to the political condition and prospects of Ireland. The writer would fain believe that the apathy in which those classes of his fellow-countrymen remain while their country is felling to ruin around them, is the apathy of ignorance and thoughtlessness rather than of conscious and intentional disloyalty. The malignant influences of the foreign role prevent the upper and great part of the middle classes from looking at the facts of their country´s condition and judging for themselves upon the national question. To look and examine and consider and judge for themselves - to open their eyes to the sufferings of the population for whose state they are responsible, if they pretend to be politically free - to examine and understand what are the real causes of the misery, the baseness, the danger, of Ireland´s actual condition - nothing more would be needed and they must become patriots. Noblesse oblige. Is it not so, gentlemen of Ireland? The aim of the writer being chiefly to draw attention to the question of Ireland, - to provoke or in any way induce the apathetic among his fellow-countrymen to consider the subject for themselves, - he has in most cases been content with merely stating his own opinions upon the important questions which he treats. He asserts and explains, without labouring to prove. His readers ought to prove for themselves whether the opinions and the aspirations expressed in these letters be right or wrong.
