Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memories and Thoughts of a Life I have set down in this volume the reminiscences of a life not fruitful in personal incidents, but which has given me rather a large and varied experience of men and things. I have described social features of a generation that has passed away; have added sketches of the same kind belonging to my own time; have noticed much that I have seen and known in a long forensic and judicial career, and have glanced at the little I have done in the sphere of letters. But I have dwelt chiefly on the condition of Ireland, political, social, and economic, during the last half century, for it is a subject which has engaged my attention since boyhood, and it is of the gravest importance to every thinking person in the three kingdoms. Though always a Liberal, and a scion of a family true to the creed of Henry Grattan, I am a decided Unionist; but, while I believe that the unqualified maintenance of the Union is the only refuge Ireland can find from revolutionary anarchy, I am not blind to ills which the Union has - not caused, but brought in its train, and I have made suggestions for what, in my judgment, would be adequate remedies.
