Excerpt from An Irish Commonwealth AN English attorney-general in Ireland, Sir John Davies writing in the reign of James I. Said There is no nation under the sun that love equal and indifferent justice better than the Irish, or will rest better satisfied with the execution thereof, although it be against themselves. Sir John Allen, English Master of the Rolls in Ireland, wrote to the Lord Deputy Sir Anthony St. Leger, in 1537, that he had been of this opinion ere now, that the Irish were more conformable togood order than diverse of the King's subjects, and kept their troths better. A still earlier writer, in the days of Henry VII., had reported The laws and statutes made by the Irish on their bills they keep 'firm and staple, without breaking them for any favour or reward.

Excerpt from Education in a Free Ireland Ship. Hatred of England is all very well in its way, and so long as it keeps its head we cannot have too much of it while England rules us; but we cannot propose to build an Irish Republic upon a vacuum, nor yet upon half-a-dozen different foundations at once, without catastrophe Side by side with our efforts to expel the enemy we must be at work thinking out how we shall fill his place; we must contemplate no makeshift interregnum in Ireland, but have an ordered plan of a commonwealth to put into practice at once. The old vicious circle, that without expelling English rule you can construct nothing, and that in order to expel it you must construct something, can only be solved by aiming to do both together. It would be a sounder and a nobler thing to fight for a Roisin Dubh of flesh and blood whom we can clearly visualise than for a will-o'-the-wisp, a phantom clothed in a tricolor of whom we do not know whether she may turn out a beautiful queen or a hide ous grinning monster or worst of all perhaps a colourless and vapid suburban lady. Reconstruction for us must mean more than grants i-n aid and salaries to innumerable fat Controllers, or a discreet burying of the Labour tomahawk. In Ireland we must have not alone a reconstruction of industry, we must not alone disguise Tweedledum as a benevolent Tweedledee in economics and.

Book Description
"The Secret Commonwealth is a guide to fairies, doppelgängers, wraiths, and other beings that its author Robert Kirk, an unusually inquisitive seventeenth-century Scottish minister, identifies as being ?of a middle nature betwixt man and angel.? Circulated in manuscript by its author, whose religious and scientific interests drew him at some genuine personal risk to investigate the hidden realities of the spiritual world, this short work was first published by Sir Walter Scott and then again in the late nineteenth century in an edition prepared by the famous collector of fairy tales, Andrew Lang, and dedicated to Robert Louis Stevenson. Nonetheless, Kirk’s work, which is a fine example of English prose, an important document in the history of ideas, and an enchanting introduction to fairy lore has remained a rarity"--Publisher description.

Excerpt from The Irish Roman Catholic University and the Jesuits Having said so much, by way of preface, as to the position of Catholic and Protestant in Ireland with reference to education, and their relative value to the commonwealth, let us now consider the succes sive efforts made by the United Kingdom to educate the Irish Catholics so as to make them better citi zens, and let us try to understand the long game of cross-purposes which has been played between the British Government and the Roman ecclesiastics in Ireland, giving due credit to both sides for good intentions, and admitting that each side acted for the best from its own point of view.

Excerpt from The Irish Constitution Explained Similarly I did not deal with certain matters anterior to the Constitution, in the light of which the Constitution can alone be understood. They lay out of sight of these articles, though they were essential to them, since they brought the Constitution, in its present form, into being. Chief among these is the historical fact that Ireland has, by Treaty, confirmed by the act of her Legislature, con sented to enter a Community of Nations known at the moment as the British Commonwealth of Nations. We may disagree with this act; but it is an international fact; and without it the Constitution would not be what it now is. This factor in the result is therefore worth brief atten tion, by way of introduction to the present publication of these articles.

Excerpt from Loyalty and Disloyalty: What It Means in Ireland Ireland-men, showed itself capable of courage and zeal in defending the claims of Ireland to liberty and justice. The Kings, moreover, who coveted from Ireland a revenue to maintain their Imperial state, and an army at their own bidding to increase their power, needed a prosperous and well-peopled island; and the royal policy was to encourage trade and manufacture, and to favour the towns. A decisive change, carrying with it tremendous consequences to Ireland, began with Cromwell, when the Commonwealth Parliament, after beheading the King in Whitehall, took on themselves his business and authority. Dominion passed to the English Nation, which now took control of the Irish Lords and Commons, and of Ireland itself. The Parlia ment of England claimed supreme control and arro gated power to pass laws for Ireland over the head of the Irish Parliament. The Kingdom of Ireland was thus suddenly degraded from the high status of a co-ordinate part of the King's dominions to a strictly subordinated position. Its inhabitants became a subject people under the English Parliament. Nor did they, in becoming English citizens, secure in return the privileges of English citizenship. The Irish Parlia ment was now cast into abject submission to the Parliament of another nation. The new authority could compel assent to its widened powers from the foreign sovereigns, William III., who held his place solely by their election, and the Hanoverian Kings.

Book Description
Excerpt from Literature in Ireland: Studies Irish and Anglo-Irish These Studies in Irish and Anglo-Irish Literature are frankly experimental. In them I have tried to clear away certain misconceptions, to fix certain standards, to define certain terms. I trust that as a result the Irish Mode will be better understood and appreciated than the Celtic Note for which I substitute it. My exclusion from the scope of these inquiries of the Hiberno-English writers of the eighteenth century has already provoked protests from my friends. They do indeed form a band apart in English Literature, with the common characteristic of adventurous and haughty individualism. But to me, who look rather from the Gaelic stand-point, the attitude of Swift, Steele, Sheridan, Burke, Goldsmith and the rest, for all that they have in common and for all that they owe to their Irish birth or upbringing, is an attitude rather of dissent from an English orthodoxy than of consent in an orthodoxy of their own or of Ireland's.
