Excerpt from A Short History of the Irish Volunteers, Vol. 1
Such was the Constitutional aspect of the mat ter in the autumn of 1913, when, by an act of the Irish Nation, the Irish Volunteers were called into being. English political opinion, without distino tion of party, regarded this act with grave disfavour. Since the act was contrary to the English policy to wards Ireland, and found no countenance in Eng lish law over Ireland, why was it not openly hin dered? The answer is that one of the great British parties in politics had instigated, approved, and financed the formation of an Irish Volunteer force during the two preceding years, and the other party, to put it mildly, did not find itself terribly distressed by that proceeding.
