Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XIV DAVITT AS PROPHET OF THE FUTURE IRELAND "Make no mistake about it, my Lord Bishop of Limerick, Democracy is going to rule in these countries " (Letter to Freeman's Journal, 22nd January 1906). To those contemporaries of Michael Davitt who lived with him through the stormy times sketched in the foregoing chapters this book must needs seem imperfect and inadequate; but for such as these it is not primarily written. It is meant above all for the young--for the youth of Great Britain and other countries, that they may learn something of the greatest Irishman of the nineteenth century, and may be led to an appreciation of his ideals; for the youth in Ireland, that they may understand how the difficulties which he in the path of the reformer were confronted by Davitt, and how fearlessly he faced the bugbears which now seem to have power to cow the boldest. It is meant, too, to stimulate them to a closer study of the man and his work. The future is shapen of the dreams of idealists. The future Ireland cannot fail to be largely woven out of the dreams of Michael Davitt. Already giant strides have been taken, Davitt, as practical idealist, himself leading as well as pointing out the way towards the realisation of his hopes. In proportion as the remainder are similarly crystallised into realities will the Ireland of the future be a land wherein it is good to be alive. In proportion as his spirit guides and directs the generation which is now learning the rudiments of political and social action will Ireland progress away from the backward position in which she now stands. The first essential characteristic of Michael Davitt's outlook upon the world was that it was free from the spirit of hate. Wrong, injustice, tyranny--these things indeed he hated with ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
