Notes

"The abduction of a Jew boy [Edgardo Mortara] may seem to convulse a continent; so may a tax of three pence on a pound of tea. Be the occasion what it may, when such a conflict comes, it is neither statesmanship nor manliness to evade it by the sacrifice of a principle, or the surrender of a right" (p. 54).
