Burlesques

CHAPTER II
10/14

The infamous universities shall be abolished.

Education shall no longer be permitted.
A sacred and wholesome inquisition shall be established.

My faithful nobles shall pay no more taxes.

All the venerable institutions of our country shall be restored as they existed before 1788.

Convents and monasteries again shall ornament our country, the calm nurseries of saints and holy women! Heresy shall be extirpated with paternal severity, and our country shall be free once more.
"'His Majesty the King of Ireland, my august ally, has sent, under the command of His Royal Highness Prince Daniel, his Majesty's youngest son, an irresistible IRISH BRIGADE, to co-operate in the good work.
