FOOTNOTE:
[1] The Government would not contemplate the first alternative. It was from the beginning most loath to hurt unnecessarily. It was most reluctant to punish. This quality of humanity has been denied by its enemies; but it would be unjust here to pass it over.
BOOKS ON IRELAND
ULSTER’S STAND FOR UNION
By RONALD McNEILL, M.P. This book is a history of the political struggle against Home Rule led by Sir Edward Carson in Ulster, from the passing of the Parliament Act down to the opening of the first Ulster Parliament by the King in 1921. It contains vivid descriptions of the chief events in one of the most extraordinary political campaigns on record, such as the signing of the Ulster Covenant, and the astonishing series of demonstrations in Ulster before the war. The story of the gun-running, which created such a sensation in March, 1914, is told in detail for the first time, by a writer who was in close touch with the Ulster leaders, and has had access to many private sources of information. The book discloses some secrets that will cause a good deal of surprise in certain quarters. 12s. net.
RED TERROR AND GREEN
By RICHARD DAWSON. “Mr. Dawson’s little book on the evolution of the Sinn Fein movement deserves to be widely read here and in America.”—Spectator. “An able analysis, and a serious contribution to the understanding of all that has gone into the making of the Irish problem as it confronts us to-day.”—Glasgow Herald. 6s. net.
IRELAND—AN ENEMY OF THE ALLIES?
By R. C. ESCOUFLAIRE. “M. Escouflaire is one of the few foreigners who have taken the trouble to study the Irish question, instead of accepting at their face-value the theatrical assertions of Nationalists and Sinn Feiners.... His well-informed little book deserves to be widely read here and in Ireland and overseas.”—Spectator. 6s. net.
THE IRISH REBELLION OF 1641
With a History of the Events which Led up to and Succeeded it. By LORD ERNEST HAMILTON, Author of “The Soul of Ulster,” etc. “Every one with a taste for history will want to read Lord Ernest Hamilton’s book, for it supplies the first detailed narrative ever published of one of the darkest episodes in the chronicles of Ireland. He has scrutinised, he has sifted, and has built up a volume of testimony which is absolutely convincing.”—Sunday Times. 21s. net.
A TREASURY OF IRISH POETRY IN THE ENGLISH TONGUE
Edited by STOPFORD A. BROOKE and T. W. ROLLESTON. “This anthology of Irish poetry has rescued from obscurity much beautiful verse.

THE CORNHILL MAGAZINE
1/6 net MONTHLY
Edited by LEONARD HUXLEY, LL.D.
“Can a magazine have a soul? In turning over the pages of the hundred volumes of the ‘Cornhill,’ I have been on the search, and I believe I have found it.... The range of subjects is very wide, the methods of treatment are infinitely various. Politics and public affairs have for the most part been avoided, though the fringe of them is often touched.... The ‘note’ of the ‘Cornhill’ is the literary note, in the widest sense of the term; its soul is the spirit of that human culture, as Matthew Arnold describes it in the pages, reprinted from the ‘Cornhill,’ of ‘Culture and Anarchy.’”—SIR E. T. COOK.
OPINIONS OF LIBRARIANS.
“I find upon inquiry at our five Libraries that the ‘Cornhill’ is well read, and certainly it appeals to a section of readers who can appreciate better literary fare than is offered in most of the modern monthlies. May I take this opportunity of expressing my own admiration for the high literary tone which you preserve in the ‘Cornhill.’”
“My Committee are of opinion that there is room for one of its kind. (Personally, I think there is only one of the ‘Cornhill’ kind, and that is the ‘Cornhill’ itself.) I may say at once that the ‘Cornhill’ exactly meets the wants of a select body of readers.”
“It is one of the few magazines of which a complete set is kept in stock for the benefit of borrowers.”
OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
“Cornhill is in a class by itself and is full of the most entertaining reading with real literary flavour.”—Liverpool Courier.
“The counsel of perfection is to purchase the ‘Cornhill,’ that you may not only enjoy its contents but keep them to show a friend.”—Guardian.
“Those of us who are not in the habit of reading the magazine will be well advised to repair the omission.”—Oxford Magazine.
The “Cornhill” can be obtained of all Booksellers and Newsagents, price 1s. 6d. net monthly. The Subscription for a year, including postage, is 20s. 6d. (Canada 20s.)
