Introductory Letter from Mr. Gladstone 5-8

The Reformation has given an extraordinary force to the nations who have embraced it 17-18
Catholic nations torn by intestine dissensions which retard their progress 19-22
Education and science the sources of wealth and liberty 23
Knowledge less diffused among Catholic than among Protestant nations 24-25
Morality the basis of order and liberty. Higher morality of Protestant than of Catholic nations 26-27
Religious Protestants the natural allies of Liberty. Religious Catholics the natural allies of Despotism 28
Among Catholic nations the highest motive is the sentiment of Honour; among Protestant nations, Duty or Religious Belief 29-32
Free and Representative government the logical consequence of Protestantism. Absolute government the ideal of Catholicism 35-37page 4
The Protestants in France sought to establish a free representative federal constitution. Liberty perished with them 38-42
Wherever the Calvinists were victorious, they founded free, Republican, and Constitutional government 43-49
A sovereign who is a good Catholic cannot be a good constitutional sovereign 50
The religious sentiment less lively among the well-educated classes in Catholic than in Protestant countries, because Catholicism does not meet the wants of Modern Humanity 51-54
Scepticism and unbelief do not emancipate nations from the dominion of Rome 55-56
In support of liberty, it becomes necessary, in Catholic countries, to resist the priests. Religion and morality are thus sapped, and liberty becomes anarchy 58-62
