** "The Speeches (In Full) of the Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P., and William O'Brien, M.P., on Home Rule, Delivered in Parliament, Feb. 16 and 17, 1888," by W. E. (William Ewart) Gladstone, is a powerful snapshot of a heated political fight over Ireland's right to govern itself in the late 1800s. Through the words of impassioned leaders, the collection explores the troubled connection between Britain and Ireland, revealing a battleground of national pride, justice, and the challenges of empire. The arguments, especially by Gladstone, dissect the missteps in handling Home Rule, urging open talks on important issues and slamming false claims. These speeches ignite discussions about Irish self-determination, paving the way for the ideas of William O'Brien and a vision for a future. **
