Digitized by Google LETTER IX. OBSERVATIONS ON STAHL'S DOCTRINE OF TOLERANCE, AS REGARDED FROM AN HISTORICAL AND JURI- DICAL POINT OF VIEW. OHABLOTTENBBBa, 24th AngtlSt, 1865. The Day of St. Bartholomew. This is a solemn day, mt deAr and honored friend, on which we are called to consider Stahl's doctrine of tolerance. It is the anniversary of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew — ^the infernal festival of religious persecu- tion — ^the orgies of the devils I For whatever share in the events of that... day may be ascribed to the hatred of political parties, it can not be denied that these parties themselves took their source in religions heirarchical fanaticism, and that this was the sole lever by which they acted on the populace. It was religious hatred which, as Banke has recently shown, gave that demon- iacal fury, Catherine de Medicis, the means of attaining her &ctious aims. It was religious hatred which enabled the king whom she swayed, to find willing executioners in the brutal mobs of Paris, Lyons, and other towns, stirred up by the priests.
