Excerpt from The Nineteenth Century, Vol. 34: A Monthly Review; July-December 1893 I do not think my Home Rule friends will dissent from me when I say that in their belief they are supporting a measure which while according local autonomy to Ireland will maintain intact the integrity of the Empire and the supremacy Of the Imperial Parliament. They have every reason SO to believe, as they have been assured time after time that this is the truth by leaders in Whom, rightly or wrongly, they repose confidence. Possibly at the outset these assurances were given in good faith, but they are repeated long after their authors must have realised their fallacy.
