Arthur Griffith (1871-1922), political theorist, and statesman was born in Dublin and edu-
catedby theChristianBrothers at StrandStreet.He trained as aprinter and joined theGaelic
League and I.R.B. before going to SouthAfrica in 1897. On his return the following year he
edited ‘TheUnited Irishman’ and foundedCumannnanGaedheal, anationalist organisation
which eventually became SinnFéin. He headed the Irish delegation to London in 1921 along
withMichaelCollins that negotiated theTreaty, andvehementlydefended the ‘signing’ in the
Debates that followed. It is stated that he died of a broken heart on the outbreak of the Civil
War.
The series of articles on the ‘Resurrection of Hungary’ originally appeared in ‘The United
Irishman’ during the firsthalf of 1904.Griffith’sobjectivewas topoint out tohis fellow-coun-
trymen that the alternative to armed resistance to the foreigngovernment of this countrywas
not acquiescence in usurpation, tyranny, and fraud. It laid the foundations for what became
the ‘SinnFéin’ policy,made a national figure of Griffith, and indeedmay be said tohave sig-
nificantly influenced the courseof Irishhistory.
