Such is the story; and its moral is, don't bother
yourself with liberty and revolutions don't listen
to the priests but take things they under the
glorious rule of the nobility and landed gentry Of
England make your round of dinners balls, and

banquet, and leave reforms, ideas, and
theology To the less favored people of other

the haf-mocking tone which suggests smile at

ruled by perceptions of intrinsic wrong features

and the Catholic arguments are so fairly
stated and so forcby put that if Mr.. Disraeli
concerned himself about deep convictions,
