Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Making of the Irish Nation: And the First-Fruits of Federation "Sometimes, it is true, a rare individual has appeared among us, raising a degraded country from the condition of a province to the rank and consequence of a people worthy to be the ally of a mighty empire, forming the league that bound her to Great Britain, on the firm and honourable basis of equal liberty and a common fate, standing and falling with the British Empire." - Curran. "One word upon the legislative independence of Ireland - that which is now called a ´Repeal of the Union.´ It is said to be a severance of the empire, a separation of the two countries. Illustrious lady, these statements are made by men who know them to be unfounded; an Irish legislative independence would, on the contrary, be the strongest and most durable connection between your Majesty´s Irish and your British dominions. It would, by conciliating your Irish subjects, and attending to their wants and wishes, render the separation of Ireland from the lawful dominion of your Crown utterly impossible." - O´Connell´s Memoir Addressed to the Queen. "I think I can trace all the calamities of this country to the single source of our not having had steadily before our eyes a general, comprehensive, well-connected, and well-proportioned view of the whole of our dominions, and a just sense of their true bearings and relations. If we make ourselves too little for the sphere of our duty; if, on the contrary, we do not stretch and expand our minds to the compass of their object, be well assured that everything about us will dwindle by degrees, until at length our concerns are shrunk to the dimensions of our minds. The Parliament of Great Britain sits at the head of her extensive empire in two capacities - one, as the local legislature of this island, providing, &c.; the other, and I think her nobler capacity, in what I call her imperial character, in which, as from the throne of heaven, she superintends all the several inferior legislatures, and guides and controls them all, without annihilating any." - Burke.
