Historical Sketches, Vol. 3 (Classic Reprint)

Catholic University is under formation, and apposite in a publication, which is to be the record and organ of its proceedings. An anonymous person, indeed, like myself, can claim no authority for anything he advances; nor have I any intention of introducing or sheltering myself under the sanction of the Institution which I wish to serve. My remarks will stand amid weightier matters like the non-official portion of certain government journals in foreign parts; and I trust they will have their use, though they are but individual in their origin, and immethodical in their execution. When I say anything to the purpose, the gain is the University s; when I am mistaken or unsuccessful, the failure is my own. The Prelates of the I rish Church are at present engaged in an anxious and momentous task, which has the inconvenience of being strange to us, if it be not novel. AU niversity is not founded every day; and seldom indeed has it been founded under the peculiar circumstances which will now attend its establishment in VOL.
