Excerpt from The Manchester Guardian: A Century of History
One thought recurs in looking back over these hun dred years. During all that great space of time the two countries, though they have had their tiffs and seen rather dangerous ones, have never struck a blow in anger. Now they are closer to each other than ever since the day they parted. Washington has shown that; the settlement with Ireland has confirmed it. That Treaty will stand; it is among the memorable events of history. No man can tell what the future may hold for the relations of the two countries, but, whatever may have been ill done in the past, this surely has been well done and will help to sweeten the whole future. My own recollection goes back over the long years since Mr. Gladstone introduced his first Home Rule Bill, the best and bravest of the three. I have no hesitation in saying that the settlement now reached is better, because it is more complete, than any of those previously attempted. My only regret is for the things that have happened in between, for the continuance of repression, above all for the latest extremes of violence, for the useless addition to the sum of things which history must reprobate and then must seek to forget. It is as the crowning achievement in a long struggle that it appealed first and foremost to the mind of the statesman who has carried it through. I met him a few hours after the Treaty had been signed To think that our long struggle is over! That expressed his thought as it did mine. It is not in Ireland and England alone that there will be relief.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader on a journey through the tumultuous early years of the *Manchester Guardian*, a newspaper born in a city on the cusp of industrial and political revolution. The author delves into the newspaper's founding in 1821, tracing its roots to the radical and often dangerous world of early 19th-century reform movements in Manchester. Through vivid anecdotes and insightful analysis, the book reveals the newspaper's origins in the spirit of its time, shaped by the struggle for political and social justice. It paints a picture of a young city grappling with the rise of factories, the pressures of economic change, and the clash of ideologies that defined the era. We see the *Guardian* emerge as a vital voice, challenging the status quo and giving a platform to dissenting opinions, all while navigating the perilous landscape of libel laws and political censorship. The book explores the evolution of journalism itself, highlighting the *Guardian*'s transition from a local publication to a formidable force in the world of national politics. Its story, woven into the fabric of Manchester's history, offers a fascinating glimpse into the birth of a powerful institution and the turbulent birth of a modern democracy.
