Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Irish Home Rule
The balance-sheet showing Ireland's true revenue, which appears on page 93, is drawn up by Mr John J. Horgan, and influenced, I think, by the letters of Mr R. A. Atkins. I believe it to be substantially accurate. I am also indebted to Professor T. M. Kettle, whose raid into Irish finance has deeply affected the political situation. I am sorry that, at this critical moment in the history of Ireland, Parliament is deprived of the light which this brilliant young Irishman could shed upon the problem. It always happens to every writer that his work is old the moment it is completed. I am no exception to the rule. Events are now moving with such rapidity that every day brings forth some new and important fact in connection with the Home Rule controversy. To avoid misunderstanding, therefore, I would like to remark that this' very inadequate study was practically completed by 31st December 1911. I have since successfully resisted every impulse to cut and chop and change my written word. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
