Letters And Speeches On The University Question (1884)

By Fabius

Book Overview

""Letters and Speeches on the University Question"" is a collection of writings by Fabius, a pseudonym for the Irish politician and lawyer John Thomas Ball. The book was originally published in 1884 and focuses on the debate surrounding the establishment of a university in Dublin that would be open to Catholics. The collection includes letters and speeches by Fabius that were originally published in various newspapers and journals. These writings argue for the need for a Catholic university in Ireland and address the various objections and criticisms that were raised by opponents of the idea. Fabius argues that a Catholic university would provide a much-needed alternative to the existing Protestant-dominated universities in Ireland and would allow Catholics to receive a higher education without compromising their religious beliefs. He also addresses concerns about the potential cost of establishing a new university and the potential impact it would have on existing institutions. Overall, ""Letters and Speeches on the University Question"" provides a fascinating insight into a significant moment in Irish history and the debate surrounding the establishment of a Catholic university in Dublin. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Irish education and the role of religion in higher education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
