nding of our quarrel
with England could be either adequate or final. This is the
one central and vital point of agreement among all who are
worthy of the name of Irish Nationalists--that Ireland is
a separate nation--separate in thought, mind, in ideals and
outlooks. Come what may, we work for Ireland as separate from
England as Germany is separate."--(Ib.)

was in the days of Hugh O'Niell, Owen Roe, Emmett, or of Wolfe
Tone."--(Ib.)

"We are as much rebels to England's rule as our forefathers
were in '98."--(Ib.)

"I remember when Parnell was asked if he would accept as a
