Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, (1836, Glasgow

- 1908, London) British prime minister from 1905

to 1908. His popularity unified his own Liberal

Party and the unusually strong cabinet that he

headed. It was Campbell-Bannerman who devel-

oped a “step by step” approach to the divisive issue

of Irish Home Rule, effectively keeping the Home

Rule issue alive despite overwhelming opposition.

Griffith, Arthur. The Resurrection of Hungary: A Parallel for Ireland.

Duffy/Gill/Sealy, Bryers & Walker. Dublin & Belfast, 1904, first edition, yellow paper wrappers. 8vo. 99 pages.

Spine taped. Scarce.

The Resurrection of Hungary was a book published by Arthur Griffith in 1904 in which he outlined his ideas

for an Anglo-Irish dual monarchy. He proposed that the former kingdoms which had created the United

Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801, namely, the Kingdom of Great Britain and the Kingdom of

Ireland, return to the pre-1801 arrangement whereby they had two governments but a shared king. The

policy, which was modelled on Hungary’s achievement of equal status with Austria under the Habsburg em-

peror/king, became the basis for the policy of Griffith’s new Sinn Féin party. He proposed a personal union,

similar to the equivalent of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, formed under the Compromise of 1867.
