Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Romanism at Home: Letters to the Hon. Roger B. Taney, Chief Justice of the United States
Fatal to Popery as are the objections drawn from its doctrines, yet more fatal are those drawn from its ex ternal arrangements, its government, its despotism, its spirit, its legends, its relics, and its in?uence on the moral, social, and political interests of the world. I have been often solicited to present this aspect of the subject to the public; but to do this as I desired, I must needs see Romanism at home-i must visit the Lady of the Seven Hills in her own house, where she is permitted to exercise her maternal authority just as she wills. With this object in view, I made a ?ying visit to Europe within the last year, in company with a friend, who has attained a distinguished rank in-'the medical profession, and who witnessed with me nearly all the scenes on the Continent described in these let ters, and who will testify that they are not overdrawn. The present volume is the first fruit of that tour.
