Seabury, who, as Father Hecker relates in the articles above referred to, prophesied Brownson's conversion to Catholicity, and did so for reasons which Seabury must have known would apply to young Hecker also.
Emerson lecture in New York, or he may have read Brownson's Charles Elwood, which dealt with the questions that engaged his mind and conscience. But among the many interesting figures at Brook Farm I recall none more sincerely absorbed than Isaac Hecker in serious questions.
I thought then that this was due to the authority of Brownson's masterful tone, the definiteness of his views, the force of his 'understanding, as the word was then philosophically used in distinction from the reason.
Concerning the inception of this party, to which all three of the young Heckers belonged in 1834, we have a better statement in Dr. Brownson's Convert than we know of elsewhere. Brownson was for a time actively interested in it, and in 1829 established a journal in support of its principles somewhere in Western New York.
"Never heard of the Queen of Spades in this connection?" "Never, sir." "Well, good-night, officer. Brownson's your name, eh? I shan't forget it." "Good-night, sir." The night was fine, and we walked home. Over on Eighth Avenue a masquerade ball was in progress; we passed under the brightly lit windows of the hall in which it was being held.
As I should draw it up, it would look like this: Council of Trent. Quart. Rev., 71, 108. Chrysostom. For. Quart. Rev., 27, 184. Congress of Vienna. Brownson's Rev., 2d S. 1, 413; 3, 309. Cardinal Consalvi. N. Brit. Rev., 10, 21. Built by Agrippa. Consecrated, 607, to St. Mary ad Martyros. Called Rotunda. The Coliseum, b. by T. Flavius Vespasian. Popes. The line begins with New-Englander, 7, 169.
I thought then that this was due to the authority of Brownson's masterful tone, the definiteness of his views, the force of his 'understanding, as the word was then philosophically used in distinction from the reason.
Here was the difficulty. . . . My trouble was great, and the bishop could not relieve me, for I dared not disclose to him its source." The reader will understand that we do not compare the course of Bishop Fitzpatrick in Brownson's case with that taken by him toward Isaac Hecker.
When Ruth had made one or two arrangements with a neighbour, whom she asked to procure the most necessary things, and had heard from the doctor that all would be right in a day or two, she began to quake at the recollection of the length of time she had spent at Nelly Brownson's, and to remember, with some affright, the strict watch kept by Mrs Mason over her apprentices' out-goings and in-comings on working days.
Our reader already knows how grievous a loss to the public exposition of the Church in America this defection of Brownson's genius from its true direction seemed to Father Hecker. He never ceased to deplore it as a needless calamity, overruled in great measure, indeed, by the good Providence of God, but not wholly repaired. Father Hecker's affection for Dr.
