First sentence: IT is proposed, in the following volume, to present to the youthful render a compendious history of the origin, the progress, and the decline of the Inquisition, a wonderful and monstrous establishment, as it is called by an eminent writer, which, in the dark ages, was substituted for the religion of Christ; and which may be considered as the greatest monument of human genius, human wickedness, and human weakness that was ever reared.
