Against Home Rule: The Case for the Union: (1912)

Against Home Rule: The Case for the Union, published in 1912, is a collection of essays by Unionist politicians and thinkers opposing Home Rule for Ireland. The book argues that granting Home Rule would threaten British unity and national security, particularly for the Protestant minority in Ireland. A preface by A. Bonar Law sets the stage for the essays, which discuss the historical, political, and economic implications of Irish autonomy, asserting that Ireland's prosperity is tied to Unionist governance. The work provides a comprehensive Unionist perspective during a pivotal time in Irish-British relations.
