"The Saxons love blood, and wallow in it like swine in the mire." This pamphlet a critique of orangeism, "the Orange Order is a conservative British unionist organisation with links to Ulster loyalism.. The Order sees itself as defending Protestant civil and religious liberties, whilst critics [as herein] accuse the Order of being sectarian, triumphalist, and supremacist.. As a Protestant society, it does not accept non-Protestants as members unless they convert and adhere to the principles of Orangeism, nor does it accept Protestants married to Catholics."
