=44. American Writings, 1822–1876.=--The first work by an American
author which finds place in the Index is a monograph by W. Hogan,
a priest in Philadelphia, having to do with a controversy that had
arisen concerning the Church of Saint Mary which Bishop Henry Conwell
proposed to have consecrated as a cathedral. The action of the Bishop
was contested in some fashion by the trustees acting on behalf of Hogan
who wanted to retain his pastorate. Hogan’s pamphlet was condemned
in 1822. Hogan finally gave up the contest and at the same time left
the Catholic Church and married. In 1864, was placed upon the Index
a translation, printed in New York, of a monograph by Fr. Hollick,
entitled _Guia de los Cassados o Historia Natural de la Generacion_.
Draper, J. W., _History of the Conflict between Religion and Science_,
printed (in New York) in 1874, prohibited (in a Spanish version) in
1876.
