About This Book

The author advocates a specific plan for Irish self-government grounded in a detailed historical examination of colonization, revolutionary periods, parliamentary changes, and the Union, and compares Irish experience with other settler dominions. He analyzes constitutional options (federal versus colonial), the question of whether Irish delegates should sit in the imperial legislature, and lays out fiscal arrangements including revenue, expenditure, national debt, customs and excise, and land-purchase finance. The work concludes by proposing an Irish constitution and practical financial and administrative mechanisms intended to make devolved government viable within the imperial framework.

About the Author

Childers, Erskine portrait

Erskine Childers

Erskine Childers was an Irish author and political activist, best known for his influential novel "The Riddle of the Sands," which is often regarded as one of the first modern spy thrillers. Born in the late 19th century, Childers was also a prominent figure in the Irish nationalist movement, contributing to discussions on home rule and military strategy. His works, such as "German Influence on British Cavalry" and "The Framework of Home Rule," reflect his deep engagement with military affairs and political issues of his time. Childers' literary contributions have left a lasting impact on both fiction and political thought in Ireland.
