Book Description
Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, 1914, Vol. 21 The population of the United States consists Of two ele ments, one coming from the Colonials Of 1800, the other from immigration. If we can obtain an accurate es timate of the living posterity of the early colonists, it will be easy to find the sum-total of immigrants, and, since we know the percentage of Catholics in that total, a very simple Opera tion will give us the extent of the leakage. A careful and attentive study of the decennial census in connection with available historic data shows that the colonists hardly multiplied by more than two, which gives us ten millions and leaves 66 millions as a result of immigration. To prove it let us study the States where immigration was small and the first settlers were left almost to their own increase. We shall be able to infer that the larger increase of the other States was owing to immigration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, 1933, Vol. 40 The N. Y. Times Book Review (oct. 16) discusses Mrs. Wilfrid Ward's new historical novel, Tudor Sunset (long mans), and says that, though merely a novel, it is in essence more true than history. The full-length picture which Mrs. Ward (since deceased) draws of Queen Elizabeth, is admitted by this non-catholic reviewer to be pretty close to the facts as we look back at Gloriana to-day. Noting the changed attitude toward Elizabeth the reviewer says: She is no longer 'good Queen Bess, ' but a Shifty, vacillating, cruel-minded opportunist, remarkable for her vigor and untrustworthiness.

There was no doubt about the matter he really wished to go. His master (the proprietor of the hotel) had asked him whether he was not undertaking too much.

Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, Vol. 26: July 1 to December 1, 1876 Was vivisection the method, or the principal method, which led Harvey to his great discovery of the circulation of the blood The Royal Commission have expressed themselves very decidedly upon the subject. Harvey, they say, appears to have been almost entirely indebted to vivisection for this ever-memorable discovery. I venture to contest this view, high as the authority may be on which it was made, and in doing so I shall rely entirely on Harvey's account of his own work. The matter is of interest in itself, as an event in the history of science; which, like other events, should be recorded accurately. But it is also of more pressing interest at the present time, because it so happens that Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood is one of that very small number of important discoveries which have forcibly impressed the great mass of unscientific minds. In the deplorable condition of our present historical and scientific training - history leaving out science, and science leaving out history - discoverers of equal or greater intrinsic merit than Harvey remain uncommemorated. Archimedes, Kepler, Huyghens, Lagrange, Lavoisier, Bichat, are names which though known to the many, are appreciated only by the few. But Harvey has an oration in his honour every year in the College of Physicians. Every medical practitioner throughout the country can lecture about him at the nearest mechanics' institute. Every elementary primer on animal physiology records Therefore it is that this importation of his name into the controversy is of considerable moment. First, then, What was the problem which Harvey set himself to solve? Secondly, what were the methods which he used And, finally.

Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, Vol. 9: January 1 to June 1, 1871; Vol. XV, Old Series I may remark, by way of preface, that in consequence of the extent and the rapidity of the latest development of affairs in Europe, our political parties, as such, have not yet assumed a definite attitude in the main questions arising from it. Nay, it is extremely probable that they will for the most part be dissolved and assume new forms, under the in uence of the altered circumstances. What I am about to' say, therefore, can only be regarded as expressing my own individual Opinions, and not as the programme of a large and united party. To make up for this, I have the advantage of being free to express my personal convictions unfettered by the trammels of party. And there exists at present such an unanimity of feeling in Germany that it is hardly possible to mistake its nature and direction.

Excerpt from The Fortnightly Review, Vol. 12: July 1 to December 1, 1872 B would be a mistake to think that the republican movement in France has only a political character. The schools of science have also a powerful influence in the development of our ideas. Among them all the most prominent is the Positive School, whose general tendency is to substitute for theology and even metaphysics the purely human ideas which are indicated by reason, strengthened by experience, in harmony with nature, innate in the spirit, foreign to every transcendental tendency, and opposed to the supernatural. The series of fundamental ideas of this school is not at this moment a part of our theme, but its influence is clearly seen in the political and social tendency of the republican spirit of our time: Since the fourteenth century human reason has tended to rebel against the theocratic rule, and the human will to revolt against the feudal rule. This double spirit of opposition led in the Latin peoples to a monarchical and plebeian dictatorship; in the germanic-saxon peoples, to an aristocratic and Protestant dictatorship. But while this was taking place in the political and social world, human reason was gradually freeing itself by analytic efforts from theological ideas. The eighteenth century did much to accomplish this work. Political systems absorb ideas, as the plant the juices of the earth in which it grows. Three capital facts indicated the termination of the old theocratic state; first, the expulsion of the Jesuits, the army of authority and theology; second, the reforms of Turgot, which tended to found society upon a positive basis; third, the American revolution. All these facts were necessary preliminaries to the French revolution. This revolution was born in the midst of illusions, fancying it was to humanize its new ideas with the ancient monarchy; but the annihilation of the monarchy was the first result of the revolution.
