Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unknown Power Behind the Irish Nationalist Party: Its Present Work and Criminal History In the history of secret political and agrarian societies the organisation described in the following pages merits a conspicuous place. It is not a newly fledged body like the United Irish League, but - so far as age goes - a venerable institution which, under various aliases, has existed for three centuries and a half. Until a brief article on its history appeared in the December, 1906, issue of Grievances from Ireland, it was practically unknown, except as a name, in the United Kingdom; while in Ireland it was generally looked on as a harmless Benefit Society, affording sick relief and burial fees to its members. To the world in general it appeared in the lovely garb of an angel of light and comfort, adopting for its motto, "Friendship, Unity, and True Christian Charity" But this is not the real character of the Ancient Order of Hibernians; it is only an assumed one. As the following pages amply prove, it was formed for the purpose of driving the English Government out of Ireland, and that is as much its object to-day as ever it has been in the past. It has, unfortunately, been more than disloyal, down to about thirty years since. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
