Lampson, G. Locker-. Consideration of the state of Ireland in the nineteenth century. *$5. Dutton.
“A dictionary of English misgovernment of Ireland.” (Spec.) It is “expressly, intended to gibbet the incompetence of Ireland’s governors for five centuries and in suffusing British cheeks with shame to evoke better intentions for the future.” The author “does not believe Ireland’s ills will be cured by home rule. He proposes closer union, rather than separation. Only he suggests that that union be commercial and social, not political.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Relates, though not in well-arranged order, the chief political events connected with recent Irish history.”
