Miscellanea Comprising Reviews Lectures And Essays On Historical Theological And Miscellaneous Subjects PDF Download

Excerpt from Miscellanea, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Reviews, Lectures, and Essays, on Historical, Theological, and Miscellaneous Subjects; Historical The Introductory Address refers to the state of things which existed in this Country in the Springr and Summer of 1855, while the storm of persecution was brewing against the Church; and though the popular excitement against the Catholics has happily, to a great extent, sine passed away, or at least been greatly calmed down, and has been suc ceeded by more just and liberal sentiments, yet it has been thought well to preserve the Address in the present edition, with some modifications, partly as an historical remembrancer of Old-time prejudice, and partly because it treats of subjects which are of more than passing Interest, and which may again come up, should another attempt be made to put down the Church by popular clamor and unreasoning bigotry. A feeble effort of the kind was made a few months ago, but it seems to have awakened no echo in the popular mind, which can seldom be a second time deceived in the same direction.
