Excerpt from Abolition of the Vice-Royalty of Ireland: A Letter to the Right Honourable Sir James R. G. Graham, Bt., M. P., (Late Secretary of State for the Home Department), On the Best Method of Giving Effect to That Measure
When some time since it was announced to be the intention of Her Majesty's Government to extinguish the actual and ancient form of separate government for Ireland, and to transfer its functions and its powers to this country, I felt, in common, I believe, with the great majority of the population of both kingdoms, that the time was now fully come for such a change, and that upon a variety of grounds it was reasonable, just, and politic that it should be made.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the abolition of the Irish Vice-Royalty. The author believes that the mere transfer of executive power across the Irish Sea would be a mistake. Instead, he argues, there should be a complete merging of Irish and English executive functions to form a single, national government. He contends that such a move would not only be more efficient but would also contribute to positive, social change in Ireland itself. The author's views echo similar sentiments expressed by Lord John Russell in May 1850 when he announced to Parliament that a fourth Secretary of State would be added to oversee the transfer of executive power from Dublin to London but did not offer any details beyond this.
