Publisher's Synopsis
Pilgrimage From The Alps To The Tiber: Or The Influence Of Romanism On Trade, Justice, And Knowledge is a book written by James Aitken Wylie in 1856. The book is a detailed account of the author's journey from the Alps to Rome, where he witnessed firsthand the influence of Roman Catholicism on various aspects of society such as trade, justice, and knowledge. Wylie provides a critical analysis of the Roman Catholic Church and its impact on the economic, legal, and intellectual systems of the countries he visited. He argues that Roman Catholicism has had a negative impact on these systems, leading to corruption, injustice, and the suppression of knowledge.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Roman Catholicism and its influence. Wylie discusses the history of the Church, its doctrines and practices, and the role it has played in shaping the political and social landscape of Europe.Pilgrimage From The Alps To The Tiber is a significant work in the history of Protestantism and anti-Catholicism. It reflects the tensions between Protestantism and Catholicism in the 19th century and provides insights into the attitudes and beliefs of Protestant thinkers of the time. The book remains relevant today as a historical document and a source of information on the influence of religion on society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
