Abstract

There is no doubt in denying the fact that Liberalism has its roots in several sources. It mainly drew its inspiration from English century radical Whig tradition and their source in commonwealth men. The philosophical ideals propounded from Bentham through John Stuart Mill provided some active debates in the form of liberal periodicals and books including the parliamentary commissions and other bodies. During the nineteenth century, the economic school of economics provided some Liberal tenets witnessed in Anti-Com Law League. On the one hand, historians perceived support for foreign self-determination as the sign of English Liberalism, but on the other hand, modern historian found the paradox that the constituencies for English liberalism were the oppressed people of the Celtic Fringe. In parliament Celtic support for liberalism was clear with the Irish Nationalist members seated with the Whigs and Radical.
