Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oddments of Andean Diplomacy: And Other Oddments Not at all to the somnolent, short-sighted and shallow-souled subjects of Monarchical Portuguese Brazil, - a country notoriously and disreputably characterized by preternatural retardation and stagnation, because, sadly and strangely enough, even at this late day, it is not yet in accord with the whiter and freer and better ideas and institutions of the New World; Nor in the least to the bigoted and fanatical adherents of the absurd, befooling and baneful religion of Rome, to which the repeated revolutions and wreck and ruin of so many of the Commonwealths of South and Central America, and the illiteracy and poverty and decadence of Italy, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, Poland, and other Catholic countries of Europe, are in the main attributable; than which body-degrading, mind-debasing and state-destroying system of theology, - an aggregation of odiously false and misleading doctrines, a creed of most insidious and pernicious idolatry, hypocrisy, superstition and knavery, - no formulated or dogmatic religion at all would, as he firmly believes, be far preferable; but To the more liberal, enlightened and progressive citizens of Republican Spanish America, among whom he has had the good fortune to find the best friend he ever had, - his wife, - this book is most respectfully dedicated, with even warmer wishes and purer purposes than he can here adequately express.
