Item description from seller

15pp., 12mo. Disbound without covers. In good condition, on aged paper, with a few pencil marks in margin. 'Reprinted by Permission' on title-page, and 'First published in the "St James Gazette."' on first page of text, which is headed 'Reminiscences and Reflections | (Revised).' Begins: 'It is my privilege to have been born in Ireland. [.] The lighthouses on the Irish coast - models of cleanliness and good order in a country not famous for either - are known to have been objects of special interest to me. [.]' He considers that 'Liberal England and Liberal Scotland' are 'fouled in the meshes of one perverted intellect. The plainest dictates of political morality set at nought - consistency, manhood, truth, thrown to the winds - "lies and hypocrisy," sown broadcast, accepted in their stead.' Scarce.
