Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Letters Apostolic of Pope Pius IX: Considered, With Reference to the Law of England and the Law of Europe
The object of this treatise is to examine the late proceeding of Pope Pius IX. In its bearings upon the law of England, and the law of Europe. The result of the inquiry seems to show conclusively, that the Brief, in one of its provisions, entails a direct violation of the Statute Law of the land, with reference to the title of the See of St. David's, and that in its general object of erecting Sees for Bishops in Ordinary within the dominions of an independent Sovereign, without the consent Of the Crown, it involves a departure from long-established practice, which in such matters constitutes the law. On either ground the Brief is most objectionable.
