Excerpt from Sidelights on the Home Rule Movement It is often difficult to find a suitable name for a child. Far more difficult is it to find a suitable title for a book. For while a name may be chosen just because it is borne by some one else, a book must have a title peculiar to itself. The title of the present work satisfies at least that condition. It has the further merit indeed of indicating that the scope of these pages is limited. For, apart from the personal element which pervades them, they contain but little save what is either not generally known, or generally misunderstood. "Party politics" are rigidly excluded, as is everything that would savour of appeals to prejudice or passion. And though the author is an Irishman, considerations of a kind that concern only the Irish themselves are here ignored. The Home Rule which the Revolutionists demand might be compared to a divorce; while the Devolutionists of various grades would be content with something akin to a judicial separation.
