Excerpt from Protestant Fiction

It is true that by one means or another, and' especially owing to the work of the High Church party in the Establishment, our countrymen during the last fifty years have greatly advanced in the knowledge of things Catholic. It is equally true that a large proportion of those who calumniate us are paid officials of societies, whose occupation would be gone were the Church pourtrayed in her true colours, and whose interest it is to foster and develop popular prejudice against us. One such society, as Trut/z pointed out,1 has been formed by an enterprising publisher, who is its sole officer, for the express purpose of promoting the sale of his publications, many of which, on the authority of the same non Catholic organ of opinion, are an outrage upon decency. But the number of men of influence and independence who support these bodies is not only small, but decreasing; any one familiar with the reports of anti-catholic meetings published in Pro testant papers, will notice the constant repetition of the same names, and these of persons in no way representing English opinion.
