Author Description

Excerpt from Ipse Dixit: Or the Gladstonian Settlement of Ireland The Irish question has occupied much of the attention of Mr. Gladstone during his political career, and the right honourable gentleman would doubtless point to his Irish legislation as consti tuting his peculiar glory as a statesman. He has disendowed the Irish Church. He has practically transferred the fee-simple and inheritance of Ireland to the Irish People. He is now engaged on the still greater questions of the severance of the Legis lature of the United Kingdom, the creation of a separate Legislature for Ireland, and the constitu tion of the Irish Legislative Body for the purposes of separation.
