Item description from seller

This is a small format book (approx. 4" x 3") with a full leather binding. The book is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. The leather binding has general rubbing and there is some bumping, rubbing and wear. The front endpaper (both front pastedown and front endpaper) are missing. The text pages are generally clean and bright. The text is in mostly English, though there The "Ordinary of the Mass" is in both English and Latin. "The clergy who were supporters of the Cisalpine spirit were chiefly in the Midland District, one group who had acted together being known as the Staffordshire Clergy. It was this very district over which Milner was called to rule in 1803, when he was consecrated titular Bishop of Castabala, and appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District. His coat of arms was blazoned "Argent a chevron Gules between in chief an Alpha Chi-Rho Omega and in base a fish naiant Sable". The resulting state of tension between clergy was of short duration. Milner, however, was not satisfied with his position in the Midlands. He had formed an alliance with the Irish bishops, and with their co-operation, a determined attempt was made to have him transferred to London as coadjutor with right of succession. This scheme was opposed by Bishop John Douglass, and ultimately defeated, though the pope consented that Milner should become parliamentary agent to the Irish bishops in their struggle to procure Catholic emancipation, and that for this purpose he should be permitted to go to London as often as necessary. This disagreement with his colleagues led to further results. Milner found fault with the manner in which the London District was governed, and was not afraid to say so publicly, in numerous pamphlets and other publications, and even in his pastorals."
