Gladstone-Parnell, and The Great Irish Struggle; a complete and thrilling history of the fearful injustice and oppression inflicted upon the Itish tenants by landlordism supported by coercive legislation. Full and authentic account of the great home rule movement - championed by Gladstone - rocking the British Empire and agitating the world. Together with biographies of Gladstone, Parnell and others; by Hon. T. P. O'Connor, M.P., author, journalist and Member of Parliament for Liverpool; and R. M. McWade, Esq., Member of the Executive Comm. of the Land League in the U.S.; introduction by Hon. Charles Stewart Parnell, M.P.; profusely illustrated; Hubbard Bros., Publishers, Philadelphia. 1886. From Parnell's introduction - I have pleasure in writing a few lines of preface to Mr. T. P. O'Connor's volume. I know no one who is better fitted to present the case of Ireland, and especially the history of our movement, before the public of America. I believe it especially desirable to have our case properly stated to the American public at the present moment. No Irishman can speak too warmly of the extraordinary assistance that America has rendered to the cause of Ireland. This book, 624 pages, is in very-good condition. It is a very well-made book.
