Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book captures the essence of an 1892 dinner hosted by the Eighty Club, a distinguished political organization, where the Hon. Edward Blake was the guest of honor. As one of the most prominent Canadian politicians of his time, Blake's presence added weight to the heated debate surrounding Home Rule for Ireland, which was the central issue in the recent British general election. The author records the speeches delivered that evening by Blake, along with prominent figures such as Sir Horace Davey and Justin McCarthy. The dinner served as a platform for Blake to share his views on the Irish Question, particularly emphasizing the success of Home Rule in Canada and its potential to resolve tensions in Ireland. He argues that the principle of local self-government, combined with representation in a common Imperial Parliament, would foster a stronger sense of content and affection among Irish citizens. The book offers valuable insights into the political climate of the time, the arguments for and against Home Rule, and the significance of Blake's role in shaping the discussion on this pivotal issue.
