Author of "Nathalte," "Adele," &c.
"None of Hiss Kavanagh's novels that we are acquainted
with equals this in graceful writing, malful el boration of
plot, or oust fined dignity of moral tone. Excellent in pur-
pose, it is made attractive by very clever delineation of cha-
racter, and a thoroughly artistic grouping of the various
parts into a consistent whole."—Examiner.

lie would have heard of it; but those Meg-al-inquisitors; who -
were set to work by the Protestantiunthwohriiteyh,
they
yded their investigations in
tile same
Alliance, aswe learn on
began. They called at last at the s3r°ileurricea
con-
vent, were courteously received, and when they asked for
the lady already spoken of, they were at once told that she
had left for the convent of Sterpehin, in Dorsetshire (not
Staplehurst, in Glocestershire), the address of which was
given them. You more than insinuate that a-telegraph had
reached this lady before these people saw her. This is quite
untrue, as there had been no communication with her. The
very intimation implies that the interview did not furnish
proof of what the inquisitors were in quest of. After a lapse
of so many years, you now give us the first account of that
interview from your own side, and I can only say that it is
diametrically opposed to the account written at the time by
the lady herself and addressed to the sisters of her former
convent. The lady herself left that convent also after a time
at her own instance, and after trying several others in
France, she was finally, on her own petition, released from
all conventual engagements.
I cannot content myself with this brief statement of the
facts, which have been so shamefully abused. I feel that I
have another duty to these much injured ladies. I wish to
make a straightforward appeal to your own honour mid
right feeling as an English gentleman, as a man of good
descent, a magistrate, and a neighbour of the ladies in ques-
tion. I put it to you whether, supposing that what yeti
have asserted before Parliament and the world respecting
these convents and their inmates proves to be untrue, will
it not follow as a matter of course that you have inflicted
upon a number of innocent and accomplished ladies an
amount of injury and wrong so grievous as to require all
the reparation in your power?
Well, then, I will make you a fair proposal, believing
that, however much you have been misled, you have yet
the mind and heart of a gentleman. I propose to give you a
meeting at each of the convents in question. Let it be in
the presence of some Protestant nobleman of the neigh-
bourhood. I am not personally acquainted either with the
Earl of liarrowby or the Earl of Lichfield, but they are
generally known to be men of high character and staunch
Protestants, as well as near neighbours of the principal
convent of the two, and the one most brought intoquestion.
I feel assured that neither of them would decline assisting
in so great an act of-humanity. I propose that you, in C0112,-.
pang with one or both of those noblemen, should yo over Ms
whole of the establishments as much as you like, and converge
with the members of the communities as much as you desire. I
have had no communication with the communities since I
read your speech, nor shall I interfere myself further than
by being at hand at the time of your visit, in order to faci-
litate your entrance, and to give any information required.
I will leave you as much as you choose to yourselves, merely
stipulating, as a matter of delicacy to the ladies and their
friends, that a Catholic gentleman shall also be in your com-
pany, and iI I mention the name of Lord Edward Howard, Ido
so, not that I have had any communication with him on the sub-
ject, but because he is a leading English Catholic member of
Parliament.

While I disclaim all right of inquisition into the domes..
tic affairs of those ladies, as I do into those of any private
family, for their vindication on this one sole occasion I
make this offer, subject to the understanding that if, to the
satisfaction of Lord Harrowby or Lord Lichfield, or both,
it is proved that no grounds appear for the statements you
have set before the world, you will then make those ladies
a reparation as public as the' injury you have inflicted.—l
have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient servant,
W. B. ULLAMORNE.
