Excerpt from Essays: Chiefly Literary Ethical
Proportionate Representation is republished in the conviction that the reconsideration of that great principle, as deep as it is simple, to which so many thoughtful men of various opinions and parties had pledged themselves - its reconsideration not in con nection with changed party interests, but with social morality and political philosophy - cannot long be deferred if Ireland is to remain a part of the Empire,1 or if in England a fair trial is to be given to the present experiment of democracy as substituted for that high English polity so long venerated in foreign nations on the ground that it alone had succeeded in reconciling the democratic, the aristocratic, and the monarchical elements of Government.

Excerpt from Essays: Chiefly Literary Ethical
The Essays in this volume were, with few exceptions, contributed to the periodicals named in the advertisement to my preceding Essays. One appeared in the Spectator, and one in the National Review.
"Literature in its Social Aspects" belongs to a series of lectures on literature delivered at the request of Cardinal Newman when Rector of the Catholic University of Ireland. "Church Property and Secularisation" is included because, though it is now too late to recall that secularisation of Ireland's Church Property unhappily preferred to a just distribution of it, which last measure would have laid the foundation for a constructive not a destructive policy in Ireland, yet the arguments used by me against secularisation in this Essay and several Pamphlets - arguments which elicited but slight response in that country - are, for the most part, applicable not less in the case of England.
