The state of Ireland at that time, the
shameful disabilizies imp ised upon the
Catholic populat:on,were boldly sketch-

defence of his part in the revolution ot

parliament. He admitted his error
frankly. it was “a rash, ill-guided
struggle,”t.ut heclairned the motive was
honest and wclhmcaning. Though he
spent twelve years in the great RI pub-
lic and wrote and lectured extensivclv
there he was grit-.v,ously di-appointed
in his expectations. Negro slavary in
