Under the first head, “Statesmen,” Mr. Lodge “includes not only persons
who have held public office, but all who as reformers, agitators, or in
any other capacity have distinguished themselves in public affairs.” He
allows nine statesmen to the Irish in his first list. His authority,
_Appleton’s Encyclopedia_, is more liberal, giving them no less than
thirty, including seven signers of the Declaration of Independence.
