"It contains, I think, within a wonderfully narrow compass, the heart and pith of a large as well as sad chapter of history."—Rt. Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P.
"Mr. Swift MacNeill explains the constitution of the Irish Parliament, both before 1782 and—what has been called Grattan's Parliament—after 1782, and shows the differences and relations between it and the English Parliament; and he offers such an account of the working of the system—impartial in spirit and supported by abundant quotations from contemporary public men, both Irish and English—as is fitted to warn us against its revival, at least without serious modifications."—Contemporary Review.
"The history of the national Parliamentary government of Ireland is but vaguely known, and it is important just now that information respecting it should be accessible in a popular form. This work puts the subject into a nutshell."—Literary World.
"We have never seen the workings of the old Irish Parliament placed before the reader in so accessible a form as in this volume, for which both Mr. MacNeill and Messrs. Cassell & Co., who are the publishers, deserve the best thanks of every reader."—Liverpool Mercury.
"The book has a value which it would not be easy to overrate, and should find its way into the hands of every politician."—Plymouth Western Daily Mercury.
"A little book of exceeding value."—Londonderry Journal.
"This concise but clear and comprehensive treatise from the pen of Mr. J. G. Swift MacNeill, M.A., is issued at a peculiarly appropriate time, and will from that circumstance, no less than from its own merits, be gratefully welcomed by those who are anxious for light and leading on a question which has suddenly become one of the most pressing, as it has long been one of the most important, with which the statesmen of the present day are called upon to grapple."—Nottingham Guardian.
