The Crisis in Ireland: residence of the Chief Secretary in Phoenix Park, Dublin, 1881. 'Since the arrest of Mr. Parnell and the other Land Leaguers, on Thursday, the 13th October, many threats of murder have been uttered against the Chief Secretary, who is not only the most humane and benevolent of men, but whose personal exertions to relieve Irish distress...should have entitled him to national gratitude. It is a deep national disgrace that, in the capital of Ireland, in the year 1881, such a man as Mr. Forster, residing there to perform the most difficult and laborious administrative duties ever undertaken by an English statesman of our time, should go in peril of his life at the hand of dastardly assassins. The police authorities have insisted, however, upon the necessity of providing an escort of mounted constables for Mr. Forster's protection in his daily passage to and fro between the Lodge in Phoenix Park and Dublin Castle'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
