Book Description

Excerpt from Rome and America: A Brief Survey of Comparative Culture, Dedicated to All Patriotic Citizens of the United States Now, since our country, the United States Of America, will soon be called upon to take sides in this great conflict, it can not but be regarded as eminently proper and timely to unfold to every citizen of it, the cause, spirit and bearings of this conflict; nor is it less proper and necessary to point out its influence upon our personal and political relations. In so doing, I shall be careful to support my statements with historical data, Unbiassed by my own personal Opinion in matters of religion, I shall take up an Objective position as the historian of culture, and accord to each of the contesting parties, its just rights. In order to understand the causes of the conflict into which Prussia, and the Ger man Empire have been forced by the Pope and his advisors, it will be necessary to look briefly at the previous position of ecclesiastical affairs in Prussia.
