LONDON, Nov. T. Rs74
Yesterday was issued work entitled, 'The
Vatican DEGREES in their Bearing on Civil Ale-
glance: A Political Expostulauon, by the Right
Hon. W. E. Gladstone
This little volume Will form an important land
mark In the great ecclesiastical controversy row
raging ali over the world. 1t is one Of the most
effective examinations OF the recent claims OF the
Papacy that have ever appeared, and, coming
from the leader OF the liberal party in England, it
is destined TO produce profound influence on the
opinion OF the country and or Europe. 1t may,
indeed, have results unexpected even by Mr..
Gladstone himself. 1t is more than an expostula
ton with Catnocs; 1t is an appeal 10 Protestants
II we were still discussing the question OF Catholic
emancipation It would be a powerful argument
against the principle, and though Mr. Gladstone
emphaticatly repudiates a retrograde policy on
questions Affecting the civil rights OF the Catholics
his tractate WIN appear to the strong Protestant
opinion Of the try call for more active re-
slstance to the aggressons OF Rome.
NO INSULT INTENDED TO CATHOLICISM.
In his Introductory chapter Mr.. Gladstone states
the occasion and scope OF the work His primary
object Is to vindcate the remarkable words winch
he used in his recent essay in the Contemporary.
he denies that his language on that occasion was
spent most and the best years OF uis ie in the
servation and practice of politics, the words were
defensive. 1t was not the aDettors OF the PapaI
chair that had a right to demonstrate with
the world, but the world that had
a right to demonstrate with His Holi-
ness and his abettors. He repels the assertion
that his la anguage was an insult to Roman Ca tho
lics and II he is told that he VINO animadverts
upon the Papai chair and Its advisers assas or IN
suits Roman Catnoncs, he Is not bound 10 accept a
proposition winch IS not Ia accordance with
reason.

Mr.. GLADsToNE'5 PROPOSITIONS.
The propositions which Mr. Gladstone proceeds
to vindlcate are as ollows:-
Tnat Rome has substituted for the proud boast of
q That she has reIaTbished and pafadet anew every
s. That one become her convert without
renouneing his moral and mental freedom and placing

or the first and fourth OF these propositions Mr..
Gladstone says tnat they belong TO the theological
domain, ana ne disposes OF them briefly. Roman
Catholic controversiaiists used TO boast OF the
broken and absolute identity OF belief In that
Church from the days OF our Saviour, but now
they asserted living authority ready 10
open, adopt and shape cnerubm doctrine accord
ing to the times. He goes on TO say: -

CATHOLICISM AND MENTAL FREEDOM
Mr.. Gladstone proceeds TO discuss the third
oroposltlou-that Rome has reluroished and pa
raded anew every rusty tool she was fondly
thought TO have disused He quotes In support OF
it a number OF propositions condemned by the see
OF Rome, without citing any OF tue ieariuIy en-
ergetc epithets In when the condemnatlons are
sometimes clothed Among these proposiuons are
the following Those who MAINTAIN the liberty or
the press (encyclical letter OF Pope Gregory XVI,

erty OF conscience and OF worship teDcycllcal Of
