Excerpt from Rome and the Popes: Translated From the German ON the first page of his preface, Dr. Brandes briefly tells us that the object of this little volume is to show the close relation, the inseparable union that exists between Rome and the See of Peter or, in other words, to prove that the supreme temporal power in Rome is annexed forever to the Papacy, so that the Pope shall be ruler in Rome, or, at least, that his influence in the government of that city shall be par amount, till Rome - till the world is no more. A bold thesis, unquestionably, in face of all that has taken place these last few years in Europe, and what is now going on in Italy.
