Excerpt from The Cloven Foot: Showing the Manipulations of the Clan-Na-Gael and Other Irish Organizations by Scotland Yard, the Secret Service Bureau of EnglandIt is with feelings of regret and pleasure that the writer of this pamphlet has undertaken it, regret that he has to admit and prove that the Irish revolutionary movement cannot be carried On with out the surveillance of the British government, and pleasure be cause he hopes it mav aid in the baf¿ing of the English agents whose business in the revolutionary movement in this country, as well as elsewhere, Is to render ineffective the efforts of Sincere men, either in the secret or open societies in the true interest of Ireland. Such British agents live and grow fat on the strength of the Irish revolutionary sentiment. They get fat salaries from Scotland Yard - the head detective bureau of England - and needless to say, when they have a chance to bleed the revolution ary treasury, it doesn't take long to cause the funds to disappear. They organize such movements, because they live on them, and they keep Englishmen in terror of the dark and bloody plots hatched for the wholesale destruction of human lives In Ire land not alone has a perfect system of espionage been invogue, during, and since, the '98 movement, but the government agents have been organizers, so that when they desired they could ar rest at a moment's notice every man in the country who was a menace to British authority.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
