Summary: "Against Home Rule: The Case for the Union" by S. Rosenbaum is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a collection of essays by prominent Unionist politicians and thinkers arguing against the idea of Home Rule for Ireland. The central theme revolves around the belief that granting Home Rule would undermine British unity, jeopardize national security, and lead to severe socio-economic repercussions, particularly for the Protestant minority in Ireland. The opening of the work establishes the context by presenting a preface from A. Bonar Law, who outlines the intent of the collection, which is to articulate a robust case against Home Rule while also promoting a constructive Unionist policy for Ireland's prosperity. Law highlights the perceived dangers of an Irish Parliament, asserting that it would threaten the stability of the British Empire and the civil rights of Unionists, particularly those residing in Ulster. He argues that the prosperity of Ireland has been historically linked to Unionist governance and that the agitation for Home Rule has stemmed from mismanagement of land issues, rather than genuine nationalist sentiment. The content sets a foundational understanding that the essays will address historical, political, legal, and economic arguments to counter the call for Irish autonomy.
