OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ON BARS TO BRITISH UNITY. By T. D. WANLISS. 'Mr. Wanliss enters a vigorous and well-argued protest against the practice, so common as to be well-nigh universal, amongst English writers and speakers, of referring to the United Kingdom as England, and of its Government, its army, navy, representatives abroad, colonies, possessions, and policy, as English. . . . We heartily agree with Wanliss that the question is much more than a merely sentimental one, or an affair of nomenclature simply, and would recommend his book to the serious consideration of people who may be disposed to pooh-pooh the subject as destitute of practical significance.'-The Scotsman. 'A very erudite and entertaining book.'-Edinburgh Courant. 'Mr. Wanliss gleans his field so thoroughly, that if he has left nothing for others, he has furnished a perfect armoury of fact and argument for any one who has occasion to discuss the subject. It is a book for the reading-room, the village library, the Mechanics' Institute, and for all reference libraries.'-Edinburgh Daily Review. 'As an argument against the habitual use of the terms "England” and “English," instead of "Britain” and “British,” the little volume just issued by Mr. Paterson of this city admits of no Mr. Wanliss has mastered the subject thoroughly, and answer. 2 his attack on Freeman, Green, and Seeley, and their foolish pleas of an "Imperial England," is trenchant and enjoyable.'-Edinburgh Express. 'Interesting, and contains some telling passages.'-Glasgow Herald. 'This very capable writer and politician commences with pointing out the benefits to England and Scotland of the Act of Union between the two countries in Queen Anne's reign; and he goes on to describe the differences between that union and the so-called union of England and Ireland in the reign of George III. With all that he says under these two heads we entirely agree. . . . He gives two lively chapters on "John Bullyism and Anglo-Jingoism," and the chapter on the justifiable discontent of Ireland deserves to be widely read and studied. The author winds up his interesting and suggestive tractate in these words—“They (the Scotch) will proudly wear the British uniform; but they will, as the Irish people have done, and are doing, reject with disdain the English livery."-Freeman's Journal. 'Mr. Wanliss discusses the question exhaustively, and certainly manages to make out his case most satisfactorily.'-People's Journal (Dundee). 6 Able, learned, and well written.'- Aberdeen Free Press. 'Though we are not able to see eye to eye with Mr. Wanliss, he has produced a book in which those inclined to his views will find perhaps the strongest existing weapons for purposes of offence or defence.'-Dundee Courier and Argus. 'Mr. Wanliss brings to his task great earnestness of purpose, and much erudition.'-Aberdeen Journal. 'This is an able and earnest protest against the Anglifying of the Scottish people, and the ignoring of Scotland as a part of the United Kingdom. Mr. Wanliss's pamphlet is an unanswerable vindication.'-Perthshire Constitutional. 'We cordially commend Mr. Wanliss's work to those interested in the question.'—Stirling Observer. 3 'Mr. Wanliss has dealt most exhaustively, and in a thoroughly masterly manner, with the sorely vexing question of the misuse of our national nomenclature. The volume possesses great interest for every patriotic Briton, no matter to what part of the Kingdom he may owe his birth.'-Fife Herald. 'Deals exhaustively with the subject.'—East of Fife Record. ... 'The work is a valuable contribution to current literature, inasmuch as it is written in a terse and vigorous style, and deals with a question which is rapidly coming to the front. . . . The book is sure to do good. It pleads for national sentiment on grounds anything but sentimental, and proves beyond doubt that the greatness and prosperity of not only Great Britain, but also of Greater Britain, are bound up in the proper upholding of national sentiment, and the maintenance of those national characteristics so broadly marked in the peoples of England and Scotland.'Ardrossan and Saltcoats Herald. 'This clever work should be perused and well studied by every person interested in his country's welfare.'-Hawick Express. 'The book is a manly protest against the irritating Jingo spirit which swallows up in the common title "England" the distinct nationalities of Scotland and Ireland. . . . The writer has our hearty sympathy, and we believe with him that until this grievance is removed, the United Kingdom will never experience that close unity so necessary to its welfare.'-Hawick Advertiser. The book was much required, and Mr. Wanliss has certainly acquitted himself well in the compilation of facts, and the arguments he adduces from these.'- Oban Times. Mr. 'The appearance of this book is most opportune. Wanliss has made a valuable contribution to our literature which concerns national sentiment; and Scotchmen and Irishmen owe him a deep debt of gratitude for the way in which their case has been stated by their able advocate.'-Northern Ensign. 'A very timely, warm-hearted, and exhaustive work on the |
