Excerpt from The Impending Fate of Trinity College, Dublin, Considered

It need hardly be remarked, that an Irishman who has good grounds to believe that the priesthood of Rome, and the clergy of the lately disestablished Church, would impartially consign him to everlasting perdition if they only got the chance, must have no small advantage, in the same way of impartiality, in discussing any question at issue between the two denominations. That the writer of the present pamphlet enjoys this independent position, a glance at the title-page will suffice to show. Every one is aware that the question of Irish University Education is the treacherous Pearl Rock now looming ahead of the Government: we are accordingly inundated with ex-parte writing on the subject: newspaper articles, magazine articles, pamphlets, and speeches of all dimensions, have been showered upon us in profusion; but it is rare to find one wholly free from sectarian bias. The following pages, proceeding from a writer whose theological "views" would be condemned alike by Cardinal Cullen and by Archbishop Trench, have at all events the merit of discussing the great questions at issue without any special favour to either Protestant or Catholic.
