Overview

Excerpt from Catholic Controversy: A Reply to Dr. Littledale's Plain Reasons With considerable ingenuity, in the brief space of some two hundred pages, he manages to pack most of the hardest things that have been said against Catholics, and especially against Popes. He has neglected no source of information, from the pages of F athers and historians to the fly-leaf of modern gossip. It is the work of one whose heart is in his work and whose hand has not for got its cunning. The form he has chosen is that of the modern Primer, in which it is the dainty privilege of an age impatient of toil to imbibe so much of its knowledge of science and of history. It is a form which, for all its rigid condensation, admits of lieen momentary flashes of rhetoric, such as the sober solid work might almost seem to yield spontaneously, as sparks fly up under the steady blows of the pickaxe, and which are so doubly telling as the eloquence of reserve. When applied to history, how ever, this form is specially exposed to the danger of sub stituting rhetorical selection for scientific condensation.
