REPUBLICANISM VS. JESUITISM !
THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK OF THE AGE.

In One Vol. 12mo., 432 Pages.
JUST PUBLISHED BY JOHN S. TAYLOR, No. 17 ANN STREET, NEW YORK,
And for Sale by all Booksellers.
" At the present period, there are but two great powers in the world, the one representing the past, with its attendant burden of ignorance, grimes, and miseries, called Catholicism, or Romanism; the other contending for the present, and foreshadowing the future, known as Republicanism, or Liberty, or Protestantism. All other powers, either sivil or religious, are but secondary constellations, moving in various 1 orbits around these two principles, according to the amount of Liberty or Despotism they contain.
" The past Roman Catholicism-concealing her fondling, Despotism, under the cloak of religion :- the present Republicanism-inscribing on its broad flag, Liberty, and the regeneration of mankind."

CARLOTINA AND THE JESUITS. - A powerfully wrought tale, founded upon and weaving into its narrative, the scenes of the revolution in Rome in 1848, under the title of Carlotina and the Sanfedeste, or a Night with the Jesuits at Rome. The principal in- terest centers in the heroine Carlotina; but the other characters are but thin disguises of the prominent actors in that scene .- Using the vices, arts and terrible power of Popery as the mate- rial, the fervid imagination of the author has produced a story of exciting and absorbing interest; while the political and reli- gious sentiments it inculcates, are such as Americans cannot help approving. The reader gets, among the deepest impressions of the book, a profound sense of the evils and terrors of Jesuitism, and is carried far towards the adoption of Father Gavazzi's prin- ciple, destruction to Popery.

From the Christian Parlor Magazine.
A book in such an attractive form, so true to nature, will be inquired for, purchased and read. The whole tendency is so hap- py, the moral and religious tone is so unexceptionable, that we earnestly hope it will gain a wider circulation than even Uncle Tom's Cabin, that now goes rapidly even in foreign languages.
Let every one who can obtain this work read it, if for nothing else than to thank God for our security against so dreadful a snare, and the good fortune of living in a land where civil and religious libery are enjoyed unmolested. May the author of this volume be spared to produce another as interesting and as pro- fitable.
From the Tribune .- Detroit.
It portrays, vividly and truthfully, the recent struggles of the Republicans of Rome, against the damning corruption, lust and wickedness of the Jesuitical Priesthood of the Church and Pope of Rome, in its efforts to perpetuate ignorance and despotism. We heartily wish this little book in every family, and especially in the hands of every American citizen, whether Adopted or Native, Catholic or Protestant; for it matters not in what nation or creed an American citizen may have been born and educated, he owes to the American Government the duty to read, examine, and study well the principles upon which that Government is founded and must be perpetuated-he owes it to himself to think for himself-to scan, compare, and contrast well, in his own mind, the teachings of any and every person who would influence him in his actions as an American Freeman.
From the Christian Chronicle-Philadelphia.
In this book Catholicism in its true nature, and history as the enemy of civilization and liberty is sketched in glowing and truth- ful terms by a pen highly skilful and eloquent. The author

charges the miseries of the past in Papal countries upon this very apostate religion, and represents every where, and at all times, as in antagonism with republicanism. His strong positions are not overwrought, but fully sustained by the facts in the case. We are truly glad that one so well qualified has entered on this task. The book will do much to open the eyes of the public on the character of Catholicism, and to prepare for its successful resist- ance as encroachments are continually made.
From the Christian Observer-Philadelphia.
The woof of this interesting story is composed of two great ideas, which claim the attention of theologians, patriots, and statesmen everywhere : 1st. Catholicism in every country where it controls the popular mind, is in open antagonism with the pro- gress of civilization. It is the foster-mother of ignorance, crime, misery, and despotism. 2d. Its direct antagonist power is Re- publicanism, inscribing on its broad, open flag the liberation of mankind.
From the Trumpet-Boston.
Catholicism is on the increase ; it exercises a great influence" on the destinies of the world. All the countries of Europe are more or less swayed, or acted upon, by it. Where Catholicism is paramount, civilization is at a low ebb, as in Mexico, South America, Spain. Religious liberty decreases under Catholicism. That species of religion is double-faced ; it accommodates itself to despotism or republicanism to gain its ends, while all the time it is striking at the liberties of mankind. To show these expres-" sive facts is the object of the story before us. The Italian pea- santry ; the Signora a Jesuistic agent of priesthood; the greedy host wavering between money and liberty, but finally yielding to the latter; the unflinching patriotism of Adrian, dying for his fellow-companions in democracy ; the precocious genius of the

Italian boy, Jeronimo, whose devotedness to freedom, and repug- nance to Catholicism foreshadows in vivid light, the spirit of coming generations ; the innocence, love, and recantation of Carlotina, the talent, ambition, and passions of Father Francisco, a priest, whose eminent faculties, forced into a wrong channel by the compressing hand of the Church, were rioting in vices, instead of progressing in virtues ;- all these characters, moving in the circle traced round them by the principles they professed, are painted in keep- ing with the strictest law of the logic of the human mind, and also in accordance with time, locality, and the teachings of his- tory, the records of the Roman Church, and the late events of the Italian Revolution. Let us have a republican literature .- Let us have books which will impress upon the hearts of the peo- ple a love of the institutions of our country, especially our Free Schools ; and awake them to the dangers with which Catholo- cism surrounds them.
From the Literary World.
It is just in the vein and temper to pique curiosity, and set in motion all the elements which belong to the two great worlds of Protestant and (Roman) Catholic readers. The plot is sufficient- ly involved to keep us in a maze, the incidents crowd on with ac- tivity and despatch, and altogether the work is done up in a style so vivid and provocative of attention, that all those who make it a pastime or a business to read, will regard " Carlotina " as a windfall of the first quality. There is a certain foreign fla- vor in the style which, while it is well suited to the subject, ar- rests attention pretty much as a smack of the brogue or dialect does in living speech.

yet greatly-increasing power of Jesuitism throughout the world at the present time. He has furnished the public with a volume of unflagging interest, and none can get up from its perusal with- out the conviction of the deep, dark, and everlastingly-hypocriti- cal character of these intriguers against human freedom and liberty.
From the Portland Transcript.
Catholicism and Despotism ! Protestatism and Liberty ! These are the themes of this work. It exposes the workings of the Church of Rome, and especially of the Jesuits. It comprises many facts in regard to the policy of the church, and the condi- tion of the Roman people. As a tale, although the author pro- fesses to have drawn his characters from nature, we think they sometimes overstep the limits; the plot is involved, the incidents numerous and exciting, and the whole work is one that will at- tract much attention. Geo. Lord, Exchange St. has it for sale.
From the Southern Christian Advocate.
It is designed to exhibit Popery in its moral and political enor- mities, as the enemy of all righteousness, and a veritable child of the devil. The scene is in Pontifical Rome; the time, the revo- lutionary outbreak of 1848; and the characters, priests and wo- men, republicans and aristocrats, and a general grouping of the corrupt masses that seem to settle down in the ironically called holy city, as the grand reservoir of all the villainous compounds of creation supplied by sewers from the corrupt sources of all civilized and heathen lands. It seems impossible to transcend the limits of truth in depicting the monstrosities of Popery. Im- probable as some of the scenes appear, the fathomless abyss of Popish deceivableness of unrighteousness will yet vindicate their correctness, and justify the sad memorials of the man of sin.

From the Christian Mirror-Portland.
This is a book which will be read. The scene of the transac- tions which it narrates, is Rome and its neighborhood; the time that of revolution, which caused the Pope to flee. The Sanfedesti were a secret society of Jesuits, who plotted every conceivable method but honest and upright ones to repress the spirit of liber- ty and defeat all efforts to secure it. They even planned and at- tempted to execute a St. Bartholomew tragedy. Carlotina is a lovely girl, whom a female Jesuit was employed to draw from her lover all the plans and secrets of the patriots, even at the cost of her own honor-a sacrifice which, happily, the girl was not re- quired to make ; her unsophisticated mind yielded to the argu- ' ments of her lover, and she herself became a Protestant .. Here are many affecting developments of the iniquitous, oppressive, and wily character and tendency of the papal system of religion-" the demoralizing and tragical results, which, in its working, it brings about.

Such is the title of a work written by Edmund Farrenc, a French exile now in this city, and issued from the press of John S. Taylor. It is the most thorough and pungent expose of Jes- uits and Jesuitism, as the enemies of human freedom, that has ever attracted our notice. We shall not attempt an analysis of the plot, nor a description of the characters introduced-not " wishing to subtract from the interest of those who will get and read the volume-further than to say the scenes are laid in Italy, at the period of the late revolutions, and that the Jesuits, who figure everywhere prominently, are convicted of producing, through their religious, political, and ruffian organizations, the reaction which, beginning with the strangling of the Roman Re- public by France, ended in the subversion of every attempt to give the masses sovereignty in Europe.

English and Austrian diplomacy are exhibited as laboring with this Jesuit brood to overthrow liberty and the people. The ori- gin, creed, and character of the Jesuits, sustained by copious ex- tracts from their own records, are traced in all their blood-thirsti- ness and infamy. The priest-Jesuit and the woman-Jesuit-the latter, Signora Savina, a polished she-devil-are forcibly limned, also the confiding girl-Chorister Carlotina, who, taught to rever- enoe the church above her conscience, is beset by the priest to worm from her lover, a republican soldier at Rome, the secrets of the republicans, even at the sacrifice of her virtue, is splen- didly drawn.
Ciceroacchia, (Brunetti,) the great friend of the republicans; the noble boy Geronimo, who counter-plots against the she-Jes- uit Savina, and the soldier lover of Carlotina, are rare pictures, and said to be taken-as we may believe-with the general inci- dents of the book, from life and fact. The volume abounds with descriptive beauties, and is vigorously written throughout. It shows that liberty has no enemy so dangerous as the Jesuits of the Roman Catholic Church. The volume appears at a time best calculated for it to strike an effective blow at the subtle enemy of our institutions, at work everywhere around and among us. It harmonizes with the eloquent writings of Gavazzi. That it will be widely sought and read, we believe, for it is as candid and manful, as it is earnest and pungent.
From the Daily Times-Cincinnati.
This work is one of the best that has issued from the press of the United States. It is well remarked, that Catholicism and Re- publicanism are now the two great antagonistic powers of the earth. All other powers, either civil or religious, are but secon- dary, moving as satelites around these two great centres. Ca- tholicism, representing the past, with its ignorance, crimes and miseries; Republicanism, contending for the present, and fore- shadowing the future, and having inscribed on its banner, Liber-

ty, Equality, and Fraternity. This work is deeply interesting, and is truthful in its delineations of character, scenes and events. Read it, and learn to discover the secret schemes and open as- saults of the agents of Despotism.
From the National Democrat-New York
If bold writing, vigorous descriptions, an exciting plot, and vividly drawn characters will command attention, it will do it. The book has many fascinations of plot and description. The sketches of character persuade us that the writer is an acute ob- server, a genial thinker, and a man of much humor as well as sentiment. The characters are drawn with a masterly band, and the dialogue in general is managed with good effect and dra- matic power.
From the Puritan and Recorder-Boston.
This work regards Catholicism and Republicanism as the two great powers now existing in the world; and of course it connects the freedom and happiness of the world with the downfall of the one, and the triumph of the other. The characters are for the most part admirably sustained ; and the lessons inculcated are so palpable, that no one can mistake them. It is a work of no in- considerable talent, and cannot fail to make itself felt in the most important controversy of the age.
From the New York Star.
This work is written to illustrate the powerful antagonism of Catholicism to Republicanism, is well written, and in the delinea- tion of character, nature has been scrupulously portrayed. Each character is complete in itself, and are coincident with the his- tory of the Roman Church, and the late events of the Italian revolution. The book should be in every library, illustrating as it does the struggle now waging between the two great ruling powers of the earth-religious despotism and liberty.

From the Atlas-New York.
The scenes so vividly portrayed in this book were enacted in Rome during the late short and sanguinary struggle for liberty and republicanism in that "Eternal City." In our opinion it gives a very accurate idea of the state of society, and the condi- tion of both the common people and the priesthood in that part of the world. The author takes the ground that the Catholic religion is the natural enemy of liberty and the destroyer of ro- publicanism, and of course his book is written in that spirit. It is I very interesting work.
From the Daily Advertiser-Brooklyn.
This book is evidently intended as the embodiment of great principles, and is one of those very few works where some fiction is well used to portray important truths. The author very well says in his introduction, that at the present period there are really but two powers in the world, the one is Popery and despotism, representing the past, with its attendant burden of ignorance, crimes, and miseries; the other is Protestantism and liberty, civil and sacred, contending for the present, and foreshadowing the future. Those powers he considers as two grand centres, around which all other powers revolve, according to the amount of lib- erty or despotism which they contain. These remarks, which, for substance, are those of the author, give us a " bird's eye view " of the book. The scene is laid in Rome in the year 1849, during the struggle for liberty which then took place, and which describe, in a most graphic manner, the unholy manœuvering of the Jesuits, male and female, to accomplish their wicked schemes. Many of the incidents are truly startling, all are interesting, and on the whole, it is one of those books which the man who takes it up will be unwilling to lay down until he has finished it.
From Parker's Journal-New York.
This is a noble work, and one well calculated to arouse the at- tention of the community to that great struggle which is being

rapidly brought to a crisis-the struggle, namely, between the Protestant tendencies of liberty, and the tyrannical " stay-where- we-areativeness " of the Roman Catholic Church. The abstract theories of freedom, and the real effects of Jesuit influence are set forth in glowing colors. The plot is ably constructed, and the interest sustained to the conclusion. We wish for Mr. Far- renc the success he merits-more his ambition does not covet. Carlotina is a book which every one should read, and which it is the duty of every friend of freedom to promote and circulate.
From the Highland Eagle.
The attractive syle in which this book is written, its plot, pro- gress and consummation, the characters, language, and matter of fact disposition of the colloquial arguments which compose the material part of its history, and the variety of valuable facts that relate to the Roman Catholic religion, which are not to be found in ordinary history, renders this work a fit candidate for public favor. No one can read it without a shudder and a pious indig- nation at the villainous power of priestcraft as exercised in down-trodden and crushed Italy. With a two-edged sword the author lays open the putrescent mass of corruption, and the reader can behold the skull and bones, the tortures of the in- quisition, the soulless, defiling criminality that lurks under the eowl and surplice.
From the News-Norfolk, Va.
The scene of this tale, as its title implies, is laid in Rome in the year 1847, and is designed to illustrate the feelings and prin- ciples which prompted the Republican movement throughout Italy at that time. The author says that the characters are por- trayed from nature. Whether this be the fact or not, they are drawn with vigor and spirit, and no one can in honesty, what- ever he may think of the fidelity of the pictures presented in this work, deny its ability and interest.
