Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from How the Union Was Carried Ireland was deprived of her native Parliament by means which intensify the desire of the Irish people for the restoration of their legislative independence. A recurrence to what has been termed ancient history is deprecated in certain quarters; but as the Bishop of Chester has well said, "the roots of the present lie deep in the past." "There is," says Mr Butt, "a sense in which it matters very little how we lost our Parliament, but there is another in which it matters a great deal. The Irishman believes, and truly believes, that its Parliament was wrested from his country by fraud and violence unparalleled in the history of the world. The feelings of nations are facts with which statesmen who know anything of statesmanship must deal. The sense of national pride, the traditions which nations cherish in their inmost souls, the memories of bygone wrongs, the recollections of former greatness and former good - all these are realities which it were a miserable statesmanship to neglect. They make up the soul and spirit of the nation with which you have to deal. You must take them into account just as much as you would the physical condition or capabilities of a country." "It is impossible to separate a nation from that past history which is a part of its existence. The attempt is as vain as it would be in the case of an individual.
