Ireland Was The Oldest And The Nearest Of The Colonies. We Are Apt To
Forget That She Was Ever Colonized, And That For A Long Period, Although
Styled A Kingdom, She Was Kept In A Position Of Commercial And Political
Dependence Inferior To That Of Any Colony. Constitutional Theory Still
Blinds A Number Of People To The Fact That In Actual Practice Ireland Is
Still Governed In Many Respects As A Colony, But On Principles Which In
All Other White Communities Of The British Empire Are Extinct.
