If, then, Mannhardt was re-converted, it would be a potent argument for
my conversion. But one is reminded of the re-conversion of Prince
Charles. In 1750 he 'deserted the errors of the Church of Rome for those
of the Church of England.' Later he returned, or affected to return, to
the ancient faith.
A certain Cardinal seemed contented therewith, and, as the historian
remarks, 'was clearly a man not difficult to please.' Mr. Max Muller
reminds me of the good Cardinal. I do not feel so satisfied as he does
of Mannhardt's re-conversion.
