About This Book

The author recounts a personal re-evaluation of the Irish question after visiting the country, describing a shift from sentimental Home Rule support to a Unionist position. She examines legislation and land acts, argues that much popular sympathy rests on prejudice and sentiment rather than facts, contends that Home Rule would threaten imperial integrity and loyal minorities, defends the operation of existing land laws and the role of legal repression against agrarian crimes, and urges readers to favor demonstrable legal remedies and order over romanticized agitation.
