Excerpt from The Catholic View of the Public School Question: A Lecture, Delivered in the Hall of the Cooper Institute, Sunday Evening, January 16, 1870

The following lecture is only the substance of the discourse which I had the honor to give in the 000per Institute on Sunday evening last. I have written it out from my memory of what I then said, for two im portant reasons, - first, to avoid all possible misunder standing of the Catholic View on so important a sub jcet; and secondly, to put on record the arguments which I then brought before the American public. Many, also, who were not able to be present, may wish to know the nature of the claims which we address to that sense of justice which eminently belongs to our countrymen. The immediate occasion of the lecture is explained by the following correspondence. I take this Opportunity to thank the distinguished gentlemen who honored me by their consideration, the audience who received me with so much kindness, and the es teemed members of my own congregation, to whom I feel myself largely indebted.
