Publisher's Synopsis
Memoirs By The Right Honorable Sir Robert Peel, Part One: The Roman Catholic Question, 1828-29 (1857) is a historical book written by Robert Peel, a British politician and statesman who served as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom twice in the 19th century. The book is a memoir of Peel's political career, specifically focusing on his involvement in the debate surrounding the Roman Catholic Question in the years 1828-29.The Roman Catholic Question was a highly controversial issue in British politics at the time, as it concerned the rights of Catholics to hold public office and practice their religion freely. Peel was a key figure in the debate, as he was a member of the Tory party, which was traditionally opposed to Catholic emancipation. However, Peel came to believe that the Catholic Question was a matter of justice and civil rights, and he eventually changed his stance and supported the cause of Catholic emancipation.The book provides a detailed account of Peel's role in the Catholic Question debate, including his interactions with other politicians and his efforts to persuade his fellow Tories to support the cause. It also offers insights into Peel's personal life and his motivations for supporting Catholic emancipation. The book is considered an important historical document, as it offers a firsthand account of a pivotal moment in British political history and sheds light on the complex political and social issues of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
