Scope and Contents She will do as Hudson rules about the Ave Maria. She is very much obliged to Hudson for putting in the Pope's letter. She thinks she has the length and breadth and some of the prejudice. It began with poor Dr. Orestes Brownson's petty jealousy at the large circulation of the "Nuns Advice." She has had letters from Protestant heads of families — perfect strangers — saying the good it had done and it ended as before — in a "clique", who fancy they are all Americans. If they are persons...
