Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Condition of English Catholics Under Charles II
At times, an interval of comparative calm, often due to political reasons, held in suspense the sword always unsheathed in readiness to strike the Papists. At other times a plot, real or pretended, served as a pretext for measures of the utmost severity and sent many innocent men to execution. Such was the dark drama which disgraced the reign of Charles II and of which the history is here related. Never perhaps was more clearly shown to what excesses of injustice and cruelty a nation may be driven by religious bigotry.
