The independence of the 'Review' requires an independent judgement; but I expressly stipulated with the writer of the article that he should abstain from bitterness, which was carried too far in Goldwin Smith's article on the same subject in 1858. The 'Review' is pledged to the views already expressed on that occasion.
The results, after the enactment of the Penal Code, and during the greater part of the eighteenth century, are thus described by Goldwin Smith: "On such a scene of misery as the abodes of the Irish cotters the sun has rarely looked down. Their homes were the most miserable hovels, chimneyless, filthy. Of decent clothing they were destitute.
Goldwin Smith begins: "The Irish legislation of the last forty years, notwithstanding the adoption of some remedial measures, has failed through the indifference of Parliament to the sentiments of Irishmen; and the harshness of English public opinion has embittered the effects on Irish feeling of the indifference of Parliament.
One of its professors published, in the Protestant Episcopal ``Gospel Messenger, an attack upon the university for calling into its faculty a ``Westminster Reviewer''; the fact being that Goldwin Smith was at that time a member of the Church of England, and had never written for the ``Westminster Review'' save in reply to one of its articles.

What to an American is ancient history, to an Englishman is an affair of scarcely more than yesterday.

More than seven hundred years divide these two events.
Goldwin and I are assisting them. There are at least twenty spies out on the wharves." "I heartily wish you as much success as I have had in that kind of business," replied Mrs. Delano with a smile. "O, I do hope they'll be rescued," exclaimed Flora.
But the erection of these new buildings Sage College, Sage Chapel, Barnes Hall, and, finally, the university library afforded an opportunity to do something of a different sort. There was a chance for some effort to promote beauty of detail in construction, and, fortunately, the forethought of Goldwin Smith helped us greatly in this.
