Excerpt from The Roman Catholic Church in Italy These feelings and words, these actions and laws, Ihave recorded in the pages of my book. Ihave obtained my knowledge of them, during a long residence in Italy, from many and from varied sources - from conversations with representative men of all classes, clerical and lay, from the daily press, from the addresses and speeches of public men, from the writings of scholars, and from what is said and done in the Italian Parliament.
