Reading Experience:

Evidence:

'I have seen extracts from the new "Nation". Mr Duffy can hardly find words for his disgust, his contempt, "his utter loathing" of those who will say now that Ireland can win her rights by force. I thought so. The "Times" praises the new "Nation", and calls its first article "a symptom of returning sense in Ireland".'
