definition of the word: "La societe humaine demande qu'on aime la terre

DOeLLINGER ON THE TEMPORAL POWER[334]

After half a year's delay, Dr. Doellinger has redeemed his promise to
publish the text of those lectures which made so profound a sensation in
the Catholic world.[335] We are sorry to find that the report which fell
into our hands at the time, and from which we gave the account that
appeared in our May Number, was both defective and incorrect; and we

affect the logical sequence of the ideas, or the accuracy of the
induction. No other book contains--no other writer probably cou
