Home Government for Ireland: Irish Federalism! Its Meaning, Its Objects, and Its Hopes (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Home Government for Ireland: Irish Federalism! Its Meaning, Its Objects, and Its Hopes I offer no apology for the appearance at the present moment of this tract upon a subject which is every day more and more occupying the attention of the Irish nation. A very few words will explain the motive and object with which it has been written. I have long since had the conviction forced upon me that it is equally essential to the safety of England and to the happiness and tranquillity of Ireland, that the right of self-government should be restored to this country. Reflecting on all the difficulties which surround the question, I came some time ago to the conclu sion that the best prospect of uniting Irishmen in a demand for home government, was to propose a Federal Union between the two countries.
