Publisher's Synopsis
Supplementary Memoirs of the English Catholics is a historical book written by John Milner and addressed to Charles Butler, the author of the Historical Memoirs of the English Catholics in 1821. The book is a continuation of Butler's work, covering the period from the death of Queen Elizabeth I in 1603 to the end of the 18th century. The book provides a detailed account of the struggles faced by English Catholics during this period, including the Gunpowder Plot, the reign of James II, and the Penal Laws. Milner also discusses the role of the Catholic Church in England during this time, including the establishment of the Vicars Apostolic and the growth of the Catholic community in England. The author also addresses the controversy surrounding the Oath of Supremacy, which required Catholics to swear allegiance to the English monarch as the head of the Church of England. Milner argues that this oath was a violation of Catholic doctrine and that Catholics should not be required to take it. Overall, Supplementary Memoirs of the English Catholics is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Catholicism in England during the 17th and 18th centuries. The book provides a unique perspective on the struggles faced by English Catholics during this time and sheds light on the role of the Catholic Church in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
