British Empire. : 2. Resolved, as the opinion of this Meeting, Thnt while the sc- vorul tracts or publications of the “Catholic Institute of Great Britain," explain the Catholic doctrines, without attacking or in- terfering with the religious toilets of other denominations, their circulation in this as well as the neighbouring Colonies may be productive of much gOUKI, in dispelling such ill feelings or Reli- gious bigotry as may have been entertained towards Catholics, from a want of proper or correct information respecting the puri- ty ofthe religion which they profess. ,
