LITERATURE.

The Englishwoman in Daly. By Mrs. G. Gretton.
2 vols. Hurst and Dlackett.
It is long since we have met with more agree-
able volumes than those now before us. They are
fresh and varied in their information, clear and un-
affected in their style, and evidently the production
of a writer of no common taste or talent. An ex-
tended residence in Italy, and a lengthened visit to
some relatives living at Ancona, enabled the
authoress not only to obtain a superficial knowledge
of the various localities, but to enter thoroughly
into the distinctive features of Italian domestic
and social life in a manner not often possible to
foreigners. Her warm interest in their country, her ,
kindly sympathy and ready conversational powers,
appear to have made her a favourite among the
Italians, of whose hospitality and kindness to her-
self she frequently speaks, and gives many in-
stances. The chief portion of her work was written
some years ago, but the latter part is of recent
date. In the former division she studiously
avoids discussing political subjects further
than their introduction is necessary to illus-
trate life and conversation ; but in the* lat-
ter part of the work she gives us a brief resume
of the course of events in Ancona and the other
Pontifical possessions, and at the close of the second
volume she adds an interesting sketch of the for-
tunes of the House of Savoy. She combines a good
amount of information with a quick observation
and enlarged views, and the result has been that
she has given us very vivid and life-like pictures.
The greater part of her remarks apply to the
Marches of Ancona, which name, she tells us, is
derived from the term " Marchesato," or " Marqui-
sate." The picture she gives of the inhabitants
of this district reads like a page from the records
of the middle ages. It is difficult to realise the fact
that in this busy nineteenth century the intelligence
of a whole population can be so cramped and re-
stricted as to make literature and science matters
of perfect indifference. Politics, unhappily, possess
a more painful interest, but their discussion is for-
bidden, so there is nothing left to furnish subjects
of interest and conversation for this quick•witted,
restless people, but the theatre, the lottery, the
Arrangement of marriages, and minute inquiries
into their neighbours' affairs and hgalth. The
authoress observes that her earlier pages were writ-
ten solely with a view of describing the social and
domestic part of Italy little visited by travellers,
but whose features of quaintness and originality
are not often met with at this epoch. "Even in
the Marches these peculiarities risk speedy annhila-
tion. Should they be fortunate enough to be in-
cluded in the emancipation from Pontifical govern-
ment, of which the neighbouring Legations now
seem secure, these sketches in ten years time will
be looked upon as monstrous caricatures. Should
they, on the contrary, undergo no change of
regime, what I have said will be as applicable a
hundred years hence as it was six months ago."
Certainly the portrait she draws is sad enough,
though manifestly free from prejudice and full of
kind feeling for the people. She remarks, in allu-
sion to some mournful digression from a gay sub-
ject, that she constantly finds herself painting in
sombre colours when she would fain impart a little
light and liveliness to her picture. But she says
" it must not be overlooked that I am writing about
a country under the blight of an armed foreign in-
tervention, and kept in control by the Austrian
discipline of the stick." The 'feeling against the
Austrian interlopers she describes as most bitter,
which is not surprising, seeing that they add un-
provoked insult to the injury of their presence.
The incident witnessed by the writer herself at a
table d'hote is a sufficient index to their insufferable
insolence to the unfortunate Italians. The balls at
the casino, which were formerly popular during
the Carnival, have declined owing to the unwilling-
ness of the natives to mix with the Austrian garri-
son. At the first public ball to which the Austrian
officers repaired with their proverbial eagerness for
a dance, they found " a large and handsome ball-
room, brilliant lights, and excellent music, but
alas ! to their great chagrin, nought but empty
benches to receive them !" The theatre, such as it
is, is now the only neutral ground. "To an Ita-
lian," says our authoress, " the theatre. is home,
senate, forum, academy—all and everything in life."
The Government, impoverished as it is, with gaunt dis-
tress
assailing it in the shape of houseless poor, decaying '
buildings, and an exhausted treasury, never hesitates to
support and promote theatrical entertainments. The theatre,
to an Italian population, is like a sweet cake to a fretful
child : it serves to stop i.s crying, and divert its attention
for a moment, and the intelligent nurse is satisfied. It is a
safe diversion : they cannot conspire or talk politics, for
spies, as they well know, are largely mingled with the au-
dience, and every movement or knot of whisperer would
instantly be noted. The pieces performed are carefully
selected, and none with any allusion to freedom, revolt, or
anything of the sort permitted ; for instance, a chorus con-
taining the word liberta would be suppressed, or another
word of different signification substituted for it. Auber's
.31-rita di Portici is not allowed to be represented, because
its hero, Masaniello, is the leader of a popular insurrection;
nor Rossini's Guglielino Tell, for similar reasons ; besides
many others that it would take too much space to enume •
rate. Verdi's Ernani is no longer given, although in the
early days of Pius IX., when, after granting the amnesty
to all political offenders, he was hailed as the regenerator
of Italy, the scene in which Charles V. pardons the con-
spirators, and exclaims, 'Pardon° a tutu,' was received in
every theatre of Italy with a frenzy of enthusiasm that
must have been perfectly electrifying. It has often been
described to me how in Ancona the whole audience used to
sit hushed in reverential awe till the expected words had
been pronounced, when, as with one voice and impulse,
they would break forth into a wild clamour ef applause,
which had in it something inexpressibly thrilling and
sublime.
The national love of society is amusingly described.
Every house of importance holds a regular con•
versazzone every evening, where friends are ex-
pected to attend to form the society. Every lady
receives some half-dozen gentlemen, either at her
own house or in her box at the theatre, as the case

may be. "In general, every one had at least two
or three houses where he was expected to show
himself every evening ; and from a long course of

habit each liouse had its own hour assigned to it
Many of these intimacies had subsisted for twenty,
nay, even thirty years, without auy perceptible
variation in the usual tenor of intercourse : they
always kept up the same ceremony, assembled in
the same half-lighted comfortless saloons, and sat
and talked, lamented the good old times, and grew
grey together." It is not wonderful that the dc-
mestic circle should not he very inviting, when we
reflect on the mode in which marriages are con-
ducted, of which frequent anecdotes are given in
these volumes. The domestic discomfort is greatly
increased by the highly objectionable system of
young married couples living with the husband's
family, and being kept in strict discipline, like
mere children. "We knew a family, one of the
most ancient and wealthy in Ancona, where the
eldest son, though upwards of 36, and married for
more than 10 years, was not at liberty to invite
any friend of his own to the family table without
his father's permission ; neither could hean nor his
wife, for any convenience of their own,
or retard the fixed hour for dinner, or order that
meal to be served in their apartments. All their
expenditure was regulated for them, a pair of car-
riage horses kept at their disposal, their servants'
wages paid--even their subscription to the theatre
provided for, and a sum assigned for their dress
and pocket money—being 20 dollars a month to
the heir of this noble house, and to his wife 15.
This was considered very liberal." The constant
interference and vexatious tyranny of the suocera,
mother-in-law, is another fruitful source of do-
mestic misery. Her authority is supreme over the
young wife and mother, and as " she is almost in-
variably ignorant, prejudiced, and bigoted—such
being the characteristics of the greater part of
Italian women from 50 or CO years ago"—the
results of her rule are often most unfortunate.
The education of their families is a source of much
anxiety to the superior class of Italians, but the
difficulties with which they have to contend are most
disheartening. The girls are generally sent very
young to a convent, where they remain for
eight or ten years, and where the following sys-
tem of elaborate instruction is carried on. Our
authoress was speaking to a young lady of noble
family just returned to her home:—
Not knowing what else to speak of, I began about her re-
cent studies, and inquired if she knew French.
"No, signora," with downcast eyes. " they did not teach
that in the convent."
"Did you learn history er geography ?"
" No, signora."
" But you can embroider "
"Si, signora—the nuns taught us tint, and we worked
a beautiful set of vestments for the priest who said Mass in
our church."
" And what did you learn besides ? "
" To road and write, and the Catechism."
" And have you read many pretty books ?,,
" No, signora ; only the Lives of the Saints.' "
i‘ Where was this convent ?—was it near Loretto, or Jesi,
or Macerate ?"
" I do not know, signora."
" You do not know !—was it very far off, then ?"
" Not very, signora ; it took four hours to go there from
Ancona in a carriage. I remained ten years; I never went
out all the time, and I returned home the same way that I
went."

It is no wonder that they are so ready to quit
their convents and accept of the most unattractive
parti whom their parents have provided, as a means
of escaping into the world of theatres and societa.
For the young nobles of the Roman States the case
is equally hopeles. " Debarred by the prejudices
of caste from entering any profession but that of
the Church ; conscious that he will never have a
field on which to display his abilities, without sti
mulus to exertion or prospects for the future, the
young noble seems to resign himself to the convic-
tion that his safest course is to vegetate unthink-
ing, unquestioning, unknowing, and unknown."
Such a course is, indeed, the safest in a country
groaning under such miserable misrule. On one
OCCaSiOII, our authoress was conversing with an in-

telligent Italian physician, when the conversation
turned upon the Algerine pirates and their cap-
tives. The Italian drew a painful comparison :
Who can count the political prisoners rotting in loath-
some dungeons in various parts of Italy at this moment ?
Your countryman Gladstone has laid bare the horrors of
the Neapolitan State prisons; but he did not tell you of
Mantua, of Ferrara, of Pagliano ! In the galleys of An-
cona, many persons, guilty of no other crime than the un-
guarded expression of their liberal Opinions, are now wear-
ing the felon's dress and chain. I know of some young
men now languishing there, who, for having let off a few
fireworks on the anniversary of the proclamation of the
Roman Republic, were sentenced by the restored Papal
Government to twenty years' companionship—daily and
nightly companionship—with the foulest murderers. I
could relate to you such stories of our prisons—of men worn
to premature dotage; of strong hearts crushed ; of noble
intellects palsied—as would make you own that a worse
slavery than that of Algiers exists for us

Of the kindness, the hospitality, and generosity
of this long-suffering people the writer cannot
speak too highly. "In all scenes of distress and
affliction," she says, " their 83 mpathy and charity
are very remarkable, and it is beautiful to witness
their untiring solicitude towards each other in sick-
ness." No Italian when ill is ever left alone. His
friends devote themselves to him and divide the
hours of watching. She tells an anecdote of a
young man of Bologna, who lingered for eight
months in agonies from an incurable injury to the
spine. His friends, who were otherwise gay and
frivolous as himself, arranged their attendance so
that day and night two were always with him.
We must bear in mind the national love of socitict
and horror of solitude and silence, fully to appreci-
ate this kindness which, among ourstives, might
appear intrusive. Their delicacy towards the
poorer members of a circle, in matters of dress and
ostentation ; their kindness in always reserving
places at their feasts for tedious old friend's
of the family, and those who cannot in-
vite them in return, are equally admira-
ble. It is impossible to lay down these volumes
without sharing in the writer's regret that
the Marches of Ancona, of whose inhabitants she
has such kindly recollections, are so wretched in
the present, so full of uncertainty in the future.
We must, however, like the Italians themselves,
rest our hopes on that gallant little kingdom and
its " Re galantuomo" which has afforded the sole
ray of light in the dreary darkness of the last ten
years to the unhappy Peninsula. Everywhere was
the same enthusiasm felt, everywhere Piedmont was
spoken of as the anchor of hope. Only the codini
or Austrian retrogade party looked on with dis-
trust and suspicion, and it is very amusing to read
the author's account of the horror with which the
patriotic and enlightened statesman, Count Cavour,
to whom the cause of Italy owes so much, is regarded
by this obstinate and bigoted party in his own
country. We take our leave of these interesting
volumes with the following tribute to the steady
courage and unswerving fidelity of Victor I'm-
manual :

The situation of the young King might well be termed
desperate. A victorious enemy on his borders, a shattered
army, an exhausted treasury, his clergy and nobility dis-
affected to the new order of things ' • t• crown all, absolutism
triumphant all over Italy, and the certainty that Austria
was only watching for a pretext for a fresh invasion. It
needed but for him to have annulled his father's conces-
sions, to propitiate a large number of his subjects, disarm
the hostility of his powerful neighbour and her satellites,
and possess himself of those privileges of which his prede-
cessor had stripped the crown. It will be registered in the
grateful hearts of millions yet unborn, that Victor Em-
manuel was proof alike to warnings, entreaties, and blan-
dishments. Through evil and good report, kinglike and
manfully did he uphold the constitution to which he had
sworn, till he met his reward in the wondrous confidence
and enthusiasm of which he is now the object.
It is not a sudden impulse, this love of the Italians for
Victor Emmanuel. On the contrary, when he mounted the
throne, so great was the universal hatr Id fur kings, gene-
rated by the perfidy of their own princes, that few reposed
beliet in his assurances. It was only when he was seen
firmly contending with Rome against her encroachments
and intolerance ' • throwing open his States to the political
refugee without regard to his opinions, equally sheltering
constitutionist or republican; unflinching in maintaining
the liberty of the press, and the dignity of the country, de-
spite the menaces of Austria, and ever eager in promoting
national prosperity and enterprise ; that the prejudice
against monarchy was overcome, and the Italians, from
Venice to Etna, bestowed upon him the surname of the
" Re galantuomo."
To the influence of Azeglio and Cavour, one or other
of whom has rarely been absent from his counsels since his
accession, much is no doubt due; but while fully acknow-
ledging their obligations to the patriotism, courage. and
intrepidity of these Ministers, as well as to the host of emi-
nent men they have gathered round them from all parts of
the peninsula, the Italians never forget to give the chief
glory to Victor Emmanuel. Without his steadfast ad-
herence to the Constitution, as to a trust bequeathed him
by his father, Italy would not now be looking forward to
assuming her place among the nations.

The Canterbury Tales of Chaucer. With Notes,

&c. 3 yds.

'r. Nichol. Vols. 1 and 2.

The father of English poetry is now appear-
ing in his place in Mr. Nichol's admirable
series of the British Poets. It will be remem:
bered that the works of Spenser have been recently
completed, and the great satisfaction expressed by
the public with regard to the method adopted has
encouraged the editor to continue his system. The
aim has been to render these great standard works
of English poetry comprehensible and attractive to
the modern reader without demanding for their
perusal a degree of erudition that is oniy possessed
by few. It is, however, impossible to modernise
the text of Ch iucer in the same degree
as that of the " Faery Queene," but thanks
to the convenient arrangement of the mar-
ginal glossary, readers of ordinary intelligence and
acquirement will now be easily enabled to elucidate
any perplexing passages. The text is given entire,
and the dissertations and notes of Tyrwhitt,
" which have always," says the preface, " been re-
garded as a masterpiece of research and scholarship,
are added in full." The notes belonging to each
volume are given with it, which is a much better
plan than that of placing them altogether at the
conclusion, and greatly facilitates reference. Mr.
Cowden Clarke having allowed the publisher to
make use of his " Riches of Chaucer" in modern-
ising the text, every assistance has been afforded
towards making the edition as complete as possible.
Mr. Gilfillan gives the life of Chaucer with the
second volume, and will add a dissertation on his
writings with the third ; the introductory part
of
the first volume being engrossed by Mr. Tyrwhitt 's
essay and discourse.

Personaljrstlg, Barrister-at-Law.
Ish"nd-Legal Remedies.

Campbell Longman.
A more general knowledge of the laws that affect
us personally is being diffused among us, and the
little work before us appears to give a fair summary
of legal remedies that can be obtained for personal
injuries. Mr. Sleigh is the author of " A Handy
Book on Criminal Law as applied to Commercial
Transactions," and the success which has attended
that work encourages him to anticipate a similar
degree of public favour for the present volume,
which is of a similarly practical character. The
author quotes in support of his work the opinion of
Blackstone, who says that "it is incumbent upon
every man to become acquainted with those laws,
at least with which he is immediately concerned."
As a me ins of enabling the public to follow this
sage advice he has compiled this little volume, which
we should imagine would be of some service in
enabling the reader to acquire a knowledge of
the intricacies of our law courts.

Say and Seal. By the Authors of " The Wide
Wide World," and "Dollars and Cents." Bent-

ley.
The announcement of a new work by these
authors will attract the attention of the large circle
of readers who recall with pleasure the perusal of
,‘ The Wide Wide World," and its pleasanter,
though less didactic companion, the history of
the amily of Glen Luna. The work before us is
written in the same style, with a high moral and
religious tone, which, however, does not prevent
love and love-making from forming its principal
ingredient. The hero is a gentleman of unusual
excellence and great abilities, who, from various
motives, has accepted the office of school-teacher in
a quiet little country town. He lodges with a
widow, and her only daughter. Faith Derrick is a
charming character, aad this Mr. Linden speedily
discovers. Accordingly, he becomes reconciled to
the world, and as Faith looks upon him as almost
superhuman, there are few difficulties in the way.
Various events and characters are introduced, pro-
minent among whom is Dr. Hariison, a physician,
a clever but sceptical man, who also acknowledges
distinctly yet delicately drawn, and the conver-
sations, the power of Faith's attractions. The characters
if almost too numerous, are very skilfully
and naturally written. The chief fault of the
work is its diffuseness, for which the authors apolo-
gise in a quaint but somewhat mystical preface.
There is much true and simple feeling in it, and it
will no doubt ,be greatly prized by the lovers of
quiet and faithful pictures of domestic life. It is
not a work to be hastily skimmed for the excite-
ment of the plot, but to be read for the careful de-
lineation of character and the attraction of its
home scenes.

G RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—HANDBO-
uoucH, Friday.--A sad accident occurred at the Hand-
borough station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver-
hampton Railway, yesterday evening, arising through the
rashness of a passenger, who attempted to get into a train
while in motion. It appears that a farmer named Powell
alighted at the station for some purpose, the train exchang-
ing passengers here for Oxford and London. While on the
platform he observed that the train was moving, as if to re-
sume its journey, and Powell accordingly ran after, and
jumped on the step of one of the carriages, when he was
thrown down, and, falling between the platform and the
carriage, was fearfully crushed. One of his arms was nearly
torn from the socket, and he was otherwise injured. He was
removed to the infirmary at Oxford, where he now lies in a
dangerous state. Ills arm and a portion of one foot has
been amputated.

GENERAL DE LAMORICIERE'S

APPOLYTMENT.

The Independence Beige says of General de Lamo-
riciere's appointment to the command of the Papal
troops :
We know at last the object of General de Lamo-
riciere's journey to the Roman States. The Journal
of Rome of April 7 announces his appointment to
the chief command of the Papal troops. lip to the
last moment we wished to doubt that the general
could so far forget his past career so break with
his noble friendships and cancel his real services.
Now doubt is no longer possible, and the error has
been committed.
General de Lamoriciere, who in 1849 regretted
his inability to save Mazzini's republic, and who
merely accepted the expedition to Rome as a mes-
sage for saving the liberty of the inhabitants, can
no longer avail himself of the same excuses.
During the last 12 years the Holy See, protected
by the presence of the French troops, might have
laid the foundations of that liberty. It has done no-
thing of the kind. It has remained deaf to all ad-
vice, to all warning ; even the hard lessons of the
present times have produced no effect on it, and
in the separation of the Romagnas it has seen
merely the rebellion of a few restless spirits excited
by the ambition of a foreign prince. In nowise has
it thought of looking into itself and asking itself if
ita own Governmental proceedings had nothing to
do with the disaffection of the governed.
What the Holy See neglected to do when it had
the power, without danger, sure of the applause and
encouragement of all Europe, it will still less do
now in favour of populations groaning under their
yoke and passionately desiring those benefits which
the Romagnols have forcibly obtained for them-
selves. Those populations will be kept down, not
by a national army formed from their midst, but by
a horde of foreign mercenaries gathered and re-
cruited from every country, to assist in this work
of oppression and tyranny. Such are the men whom
General de Lamoriciere has consented to command
—such is the work to which he lends the authority
of his name.
As for the reforms, they will become what they
can become. Cardinal Antonelli will take good
care of that, and when necessary, in the name of
canonical law, will abduct some fresh Mortara child
from the arms of its mother; General de Lamori-
ciere will be the accomplice and executioner of this
barbarous crime ; when it shall be necessary to re-
new the mighty exploits of Perugia, General de La-
moricier, commanding the pillagers of the city, will
become the emulator and rival of the Schmidts and
Kalberniattens. Such is the position freely ac-
cepted by a man who has been living in exile, and
calling himself a martyr of liberty, of violated
right.
A proclamation by General de Lamoriciere,
which we have this instant received, proves to us
that we are even too indulgent towards him in the
preceding reflections. In fact, in this proclamation
the general, for the purpose of misleading both
public opinion and the soldiers he is going to com-
mand, identifies the cause of civilisation and liberty
with that of the Papal Government. He proclaims
all those to be revolutionary who do not bow down
before the monstrous abuses of the Roman theo-
cracy. It is impossible to belie truth more signally,
impossible to cover with a more deceitful mask a
real tergiversation.

The Pope has at last got a real General, who
promises to raise for him a real army. General
Lamoriciere has gone to Rome, not as a mercenary
soldier, but as a devotee, and has issued his first
order of the day as Commander-in-Chief of the Pon-
tifical troops. The Pope has no confidence in that
" vendetta of prayers" which he, lately threatened ;
and as for his excommunication, even Mr. Bowyer
assures us that it is no curse. Bayonets and can-
non are after all the true supports of the Papal
chair, so his Holiness has sent for an old Algerian
officer, and the sword which for near fifteen years
quelled the fiery Moslem is now to keep in awe,
and if need be smite, the Christian flock of the
Holy Father. We congratulate the gallant Gene-
ral on his new function. We applauded his gal-
lantry in Africa and his patriotism in the National
Assembly ; we admired the dignity with which he
bore the wrongs inflicted on him with so many
others when Louis Napoleon perpetrated the coup-
d'etat ; but we did not suspect that the eloquent
denouncer of the expedition to Rome would one day
consent to be the hired hangman of a Government
of priests, and convert into a reign of terror the
foreign occupation of Rome, which he was among
the first to condemn;

The General's address to his soldiers—a part of
which has been verbally transmitted by the tele-
graph—is
a strange document to appear at Rome.
" Catholic Christianity," says the General, "is the
life of civilisation. Europe is threatened by revo-
lution, as it formerly was by Islamism. The cause
of the Pope is that of Civilisation and Liberty."
Any objection we might feel inclined to make
to these assertions is nothing compared with the
gain which we descry in the spirit of the appeal.
It is then at last thought worth the while of the
Papacy to reason, and to satisfy men's judgment
and conscience. This is indeed innovation. Gene-
ral Lamoriciere, we dare say, would have struck
as hard at Perugia as Colonel Schmidt, but
no Swiss or Austrian officer serving the Pope
would have put the words " civilisation" and
" liberty" in an order of the day. Whether the
Pope's cause is that of civilisation and liberty, the
Pope's subjects know much better than the French
general can tell them ; but, at any rate, M. Lamo-
riciere's language is an admission that it ought to
be. The Romans will thank him for this. It will
be impossible hereafter to proscribe those two dread-
ful words. The general has made a complete
armoury of sacerdotal weapons—divine mission,
authority of St. Peter and Paul, sacred rights, and
other Roman implements—quite obsolete by a stroke
of the pen. Chambers and matchlocks, much less
pikes and crossbows, will not work with the Minie
musket and rifled cannon. Are General Lamori-
ciere's orders of the day free of the censorship ?
We infer from the words of General Lamericiere
that he has carried to Rome something better than
a sword. The worthy aspirations his proclamation
betrays are French, not Papal. We can easily give
him credit for sincerely desiring that the Papal
cause may become what he says it is. He is just
now in his first sanguine days, and he is to be
pitied, for he has undertaken a task beyond human
strength. He cannot change the Papal Govern-
ment, the char icter and works of which belong to
its nature. As a theocracy it cannot condescend to
the level of other and more hu nane forms of e•o-
-vernment, and act the interests of the governed
before itselfGeneral_ as the chief end of its existence. Be-

natural spectacle of a whoiedepmeoepstLeexcluded from

stition. The notions of reform and progress which
he entertains will SO3ll bring him face to face
with that rock of infallibility against which so
many bright prospects have been shattered. He
will hear the fatal non possunzus, and learn that he
has been sent for to defend and not to regulate the
temporal power of the Pope. Even this humble
office he will find above his strength. He may
organise an Italian army in the Roman States,
for which Italy will be grateful to him ; but when-
ever that army sheds its blood it will not be for a
knot of intriguing fanatics separated from-the na-
tion by every idea and every interest, the Monsig-
nori who despise them and eat them up. In vain
does the Pope collect devoted adherents from Brit-
tany, Ireland, or Bavaria. Every stranger who
takes service under him only demonstrates the more
evidently to the world the parasitical nature of his
rule. The few persons among the great body of in-
structed Catholics who are so unjust as to desire
that the population of a whole State should be sac-
rificed to the earthly grandeur of their spiritual
lord, will find themselves no match for a people
bent on obtaining good government and its gua-
rantees for themselves and their children. In any
case the Roman people will not acquiesce in a eivi•
lisation represented by the Index Expurgatorius
nor in the liberty administered by the Inquisition,
