Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Answer to Six Months in a Convent: Exposing Its Falsehoods and Manifold Absurdities It is an old adage, that a lie will travel many leagues, while truth is putting on his boots. No doubt such will be the case, with the stories of Rebecca T. Reed, aided as they are by men, who have enlisted in the crusade against Catholics and Catholic Institutions. The book recently published by her and her disciples, entitled "Six Months in a Convent," is of an extraordinary character. It is believed, that no book professing to state facts, ever issued from the press, containing so little truth, in proportion to the whole matter. Even the title page contains a mistatement, as she was in the Convent only four months and a few days. Her part of the work is ushered in by an introduction, written by one or more of her votaries, equal in quantity of matter to the whole of her narrative; it is like one of those coming events, which "cast their shadows before;" - if the body of it was intended to impose upon the public, the introduction very faithfully aids in the design. There may be some difference, however, in the moral responsibility of the parties, if it be true as the writers of the latter say, that they fully believe every thing stated in the former. If it shall appear, as we believe it will, that Miss R´s narrative is a tissue of misrepresentations calculated and designed to destroy the character of the Ursuline Community, the Committee of Publication as they are called, must hang upon one horn of a dilemma. Either they believe it or they do not. If they are honest believers, their understandings are brought into contempt, if not, they are willing accessaries to as wicked a production as ever disgraced the press. The man who can give credence to the alleged conspiracy of Bishop Fenwick, and the Superior to send Miss Reed against her inclination across the country to some place in Canada, or to the story about the bushel of gold, is past the influence of reason. He may be at once delivered over to the class of incurables, without the least danger of mistake. But we do not believe in their truth in this particular. The man who could write that introduction is not the person to be so easily duped. On the other hand he shows that he wants neither the will nor the capacity to dupe others.
