Caption

The booklet is subtitled, 'Some Opinions of Leading Irish Protestants'. It was compiled by Jeremiah MacVeagh, MP. Pro Home Rule in stance, the booklet takes the form of letters. Edward Archdale, listed as the Deputy Lieutenant and ex-High Sheriff for Fermanagh and Tyrone, begins with the statement: 'I have every reason to repudiate the idea that the grant of self-government to Ireland would result in the religious persecution of Protestants. There does not appear to be a grain of evidence in support of such a charge.'
