Publisher's Synopsis
""An Account of the Recent Persecutions in Madeira, in a Letter to a Friend"" is a book written by Robert Reid Kalley in 1844. The book is a detailed narration of the persecution of Protestants in Madeira, a Portuguese island in the Atlantic. Kalley, a Scottish missionary, was one of the few Protestant missionaries working in Madeira at the time. He witnessed firsthand the persecution of Protestants by the Catholic Church and the Portuguese authorities. In his letter, Kalley describes the events leading up to the persecution, the methods used to suppress Protestantism, and the suffering endured by the Protestants. He also provides a historical background of the island and the religious tensions that existed between the Catholics and the Protestants. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious intolerance that existed in Madeira during the mid-19th century. It is also a testament to the courage and resilience of the Protestant community in the face of persecution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
