It is written as he always writes, with a hold, dash in or pen. full of figures and strong reasoning and glowing ideas: "There is not, and there never was, on this earth a work of human po'lic.v so well deserving of examination as the Roman <7utholio Church. The history of that church joins together the two great ages of human civilization. No other institu ' ' .a iciv oiiiiiuing which carries tlio mind I back to the times when the smoke of s i- j etifice rose from the Pantheon, and when I tame leopards nnd tigers bounded in the j Flavian amphitheatre.
