GLADSTONE ON IRISH HISTORY.
Mr.. Gladstone has written to the editor
of Blackwood's Magazine In reply to
Lord Brabourne's article on Facts and
Fictions oflrsh History" Mr.. Glad tone
calls the old Irish Parliament a national
Parliament, meaning that IL was not
given to Ireland by an exterior agencv
like the colonial assemblies. He saws that
Ireland was satisfied with the Parliament
Of 1882 as between herself and England.
In that sense only Mr.. Gladstone concurs
With what the article says against the
Irish Parliament, hut be points out that
tn article does not refer 10 the virtues of
ibat Parliament, especially its endeavors
10 arrest the recall OF Lord FitZwlliam.
He declares that he is unaware that dur
ing the whole eighteen years OF lis exist
ence, any attempt Of tie executive TO do
good was frustra ed by the irish Paria-
ment. MIR. Gladstone admits that Lord
Bra hOurnp's tone is fair and temperate
and reioices at that indication of desire
10 treat the subject historically.
