The plan for Ireland ought to be produced by the government of the day.
But Turgot was one of those severe and scrupulous souls, to whom a wicked promise does not cease to be degrading by becoming hypocritical.
There lay Ireland,—squalid, dismal, sullen, dull, expectant, sunk deep in hostile intent.
This was a complete falsification of a whole set of our national promises.
