Wiseman's encyclical, dated 'from without the Flaminian Gate', in which he announced the new departure, was greeted in England by a storm of indignation, culminating in the famous and furibund letter of Lord John Russell, then Prime Minister, against the insolence of the 'Papal Aggression'. Though the particular point against which the outcry was raised the English territorial titles of the new Roman bishops was an insignificant one, the instinct of Lord John and of the English people was in reality sound enough.
Mark them well Danton and Robespierre: today, merely "esurient advocates," petty men of law come up from the provinces to win their fortunes in Paris; tomorrow, leaders of faction; some months or years later, the rulers of France! Danton "the huge, brawny figure, through whose black brows and rude flattened face there looks a waste energy as of Hercules not yet furibund."
"If this Bowelt is an honest man," his Highness continued, "he will give to the demand of these furibund petitioners a very queer reception."
