Book Description

Excerpt from Life of Daniel O'connell, the Liberator: His Times-Political, Social, and Religious We are very far from wishing to add strife to strife; but the elements of discord, which have stirred the waves of popular opinion for some eight hundred years and more, are slowly abating. It is true, indeed, that the gibbet and the triangle are no longer used to silence the cries of an oppressed nation, but Ireland is not spared the lash of the tongue, even by those whose position, as rulers of a king dom which is said to be united, should suggest a wiser, if not a more paternal course.
