Scope and Contents

If an assertation be true because many make it and none deny it, McMaster's severe denunciation of Isabella of Spain and her character is merited. He paints her as not only immoral, but as a lewd and degraded prostitute. Many readers of the Journal cannot understand why the Press seems to have a monopoly in accusing her, while persons in exalted stations respect her. Even the Holy Father, a few years ago, marked her as recipient of His favor by sending her the "golden rose." If Isabella, her mother and her aunt are as corrupt as McMaster says, why would the Pope single her out of all the princesses of Europe? Many will look with intense interest for McMaster's reply. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
