Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 18: January June, 1872 The writers of the Civilta Cattolica sometimes say, that a Catholic liberal is a contradiction in terms. We quite concur with this statement, in the sense in which they evidently intend it. But they would not of course deny, that certain persons, more or less imbued with liberalism, submit their intellect (so far as intention goes) to the Church's actual definitions of faith, and even frequent her sacraments.

Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 47 Art. I. - A History of the City of Dublin. By J. T. Gilbert, Member of the Committee of Antiquities of the Royal Irish Academy; Hon. Sec. Irish Archaeological and Celtic Society. Vols. 1. 2, 3. Dublin: McGlashan and Gill, 1859. We have occasionally met with men who, when questioned as to the land of their birth, refused to acknowledge any particular country, but boasted of their independent existence as cosmopolites or children of the world. We have always considered this as a very unestimable and unenviable idiosyncrasy, and, indeed, looked on such declarations as an affectation of indifference which even the worst of men but rarely feel. Patriotism, indeed, in its exalted sense, is now little more than known by name and through the medium of history; but there is a material and grosser affection for the land of one's birth, which is almost a common feeling, and which causes a pang in even the most callous heart, when forced to wander an exile on the cold shores of the stranger. When stern necessity, the chill grasp of penury at home, and the hope of better progress abroad, force a man to quit his native land, closing the long vista of the future prospect he sees the shadow of his native hills, and the crowning of all his hopes is his return to the old country. "I still had hopes, my long vexations past, Here to return and dwell at home at last." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 11 These are high-sounding pretensions, and a great deal of their influence is due to the loudness and persistency with which they are proclaimed. They have made themselves heard in spheres far removed from their original source; and, as is often the case with such boldly assumed conclusions, have been more or less timidly accepted by many who are ignorant of the processes by which they have been really attained.

Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 26: July October, 1891 It would be an error to regard the momentous change thus effected in 1535 as being of sudden incidence. The contest between the Papal power and the regal power had been waged, with longer or briefer truces, from the days of the Norman conquest]l One of its acutest phases was in the reign of the Second Henry, on whose behalf we find claims made anticipating, by nearly four hundred years, the pretensions successfully vindi cated by the Eighth. Reginald fitzurse, when he was disputing with Becket, just before the murder, asked him from whom he had the archbishopric? Thomas replied, The spirituals I have from God and my lord the Pope the temporals and possessions from my lord the king. Do you not, asked Reginald, acknowledge that you hold the whole from the king? No, was the prelate's answer. We have. To render the king the things that are the king's, and to God the things that are God' s.' The words of the Archbishop, writes Bishop Stubbs, embody the commonly received idea; the words of Reginald, although they do not represent the theory of Henry II., contain the germ of the doctrine which was formulated under Henry VIII a doctrine, it may be observed, set forth in the new form of the Oath of Homage prescribed by that monarch for his bishops: I acknowledge that I hold the said bishopric, as well the spiritualities as the temporalities thereof, only of your Majesty.

Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 34: March and June, 1853 The second part of our author's volume is devoted to a consideration of the causes and remedies of the degraded condition of the Irish people. Now, we are not inclined to be unnecessarily captions but here we feel bound to enter our strongest protest against the terms which he employs. For, as Christians, whatever we may think of the physical condition of Ireland, still, we dare not believe that although she is sunk in poverty, rags, and filth, she can possibly be accused of moral degra dation. If ever it shall be proved, by statistics, that, in point of morality, honesty, and virtue, (in the common sense of the term), she ranks below either England, Wales, or Scotland, - theu, and not till then, will we plead guilty to the charge of moral degradation. But, on this score, we need not trouble ourselves, unless, indeed, through the agency of famine, pestilence, and emigration, the religion of Dr. Plunkett should happily become the prevailing reli gion of the land. As to her physical condition, we will, in all sadness, assume what Sir Francis Head states as true, though we shall certainly see reason to differ from him entirely as to the causes to which to refer it.
