Book Description

Excerpt from Home Rule in America: Being a Political Address Delivered in St. Andrew's Halls on Tuesday, 13 September, 1887 As far as our business to-night is concerned, the most important point about Mr. Carnegie is that he is admirably fitted to handle the theme which he has undertaken to expound to us, and to press its lessons home upon us, inas much as he is at once a Scotsman by birth and educa tion, and an American by adoption and residence, fully acquainted accordingly from the inside with both British and American institutions, and well qualified to speak of them and to compare their advantages and disadvantages, and fully within his right if not within his'duty in urging those reforms which his two-fold experience may have con vinced him that we require.
