Excerpt from Catholic Nations and Protestant Nations: Compared in Their Threefold Relations to Wealth, Knowledge, and Morality

Good deeds are the result of truth; evil is the result of false hood; two modes of expressing the same idea. The true and the good are intimately connected, or, to speak more correctly, they are but one.

All understand what is meant by true, but what do we mean by good? It will be useful here to explain.

Morality, knowledge, wealth, are, in our estimation, three things good in themselves, and for all mankind.

If the reader dispute this assertion, it will be well to pause here; for upon this all our argument rests as upon an axiom.
