TO THE HONEST AND LIBERTY-LOVING PEOPLE OF THE
UNITED STATES,
I also dedicate this book.
Americans! You are sleeping on a volcano, and you do not suspect it!
You are pressing on your bosom a viper which will bite you to death, and
you do not know it.
Read this book, and you will see that Rome is the sworn, the most implacable,
the absolutely irreconcilable and deadly enemy of your schools,
your institutions, your so dearly bought rights and liberties.
Read this book, and you will not only understand that it is to Rome
you owe the rivers of blood and the unspeakable horrors of the last civil
war: but you will learn that Romanism and Liberty can not live on the
same ground. This has been declared by the Popes, hundreds of times.
Read this book: And you will not only see that Abraham Lincoln was
murdered by Rome, but you will learn that Romanism, under the mask of
religion, is nothing but a permanent political conspiracy against all the
most sacred rights of man and the most holy laws of God.
In those pages you will not learn to hate the Roman Catholics. No!
But you will learn to be more than ever watchful in guarding the precious
treasures of Freedom bestowed upon you by your fathers. You will learn
never to let them fall into the hands of those who, with the sacred name or
Liberty on their lips, and the mask of Liberty on their faces, are sworn to
destroy all Liberty.
