National Revival: A Re-Statement of Tory Principles. E-book. Formato PDF - 9780259648192

This book is placed in our hands at a singularly apt moment. Never before in the whole history of England has it been more urgent to reaffirm national principles, and to direct men's minds from the expedient and the transient to the vital and the eternal. To rearrange national thought, to rekindle the national consciousness, to become the champion of all that has made England great, must be the task of any political party that seeks to be patriotic. And to be patriotic is to be successful.

No Unionist will mimimize the splendid work of his party in Parliament. No student of contemporary history will be found to deny that the intellect and the performance of the protagonists at Westminster stand as high as ever. But outside and beyond the House of Commons there are aspirations, conscious and sub-conscious, to which the Press and the Parliament make but little response. Until these aspirations are satisfied by the presentment of a conquering ideal, there will be no real confidence in any political party, and no hope for England.
