Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Trial, and Death of Francisco Ferrer When, at the request of the Editor of McClure´s Magazine, I undertook the investigation of which the following pages are the result, I had barely heard the name of Francisco Ferrer. In other words, I approached the subject with the impartiality of ignorance. The circumstances were these: Mr. Perceval Gibbon had contributed to McClure´s Magazuie an article on Ferrer, which, though excellent so far as it went, was written at a time when complete information was not yet accessible. American Roman Catholics violently assailed the article, and opposed to it the ecclesiastical legend of Ferrer´s character, career and crimes. Among the insults they hurled at Mr. Gibbon was one which probably left him "more than usual calm" - the suggestion, to wit, that he must be lineally descended from the infamous author of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Always willing to hear both sides of a question, McClure´s Magazine printed an article by one of the Catholic champions, which displayed an astounding ignorance of even the admitted facts of the case, as set forth in the official documents; and meanwhile the Editor commissioned me to go to Spain and undertake an independent enquiry into the whole matter. My mind, as before stated, was a blank as regards Ferrer, and I had no predispositions to contend against.
