Excerpt from The Irish SituationUp to 1912 no irremediable cleavage had produced itself. The Home Rule Bill was accepted by all Nationalist Ireland in good faith as a fair measure of self-government. A vast open - air meeting was held in Dublin to endorse this acceptance, and among the speakers was Patrick Pearse, who stood on a platform outside the General Post Office, where four years later he was to launch his rebellion. Rejection by the Lords was foreseen, but it was assumed that since this had been made the test question for the trial of strength between the hereditary and the elected Houses, British democracy would not give way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
