Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rambler, Vol. 12: A Catholic Journal and Review of Home and Foreign Literature, Politics, Science, Music, and the Fine Arts Among the crimes against liberty committed in the name of liberty, the present has some distinguishing features. The brave and manly spirit Of the English Protestant revenges it self for a defeat sustained from men by an outrage upon women. The English Protestant is forced to submit to the hierarchy; he rejoices to think that he may at least annoy the nuns. But even this noble aim he dares not to avow. It is in the name of liberty that he violates the first principles of freedom. It is\to.carry out the babeas corpus that he puts the crowbar into the hand of the official burglar, and bids him break into the houses Of the Queen's subjects. And so consistent is Protestant hypocrisy, that the operation of this bill is un restricted, and that in a law passed with reference to one par ticular class of the community, there is not so much as a hint of-its existence. The persecution of, a few ladies who have devoted their lives to works of piety and charity is compassed by an enactment which puts at the mercy of a paid corn missioner and any country justice the domestic privacy and household security of every family in the kingdom.
