Item description from seller

49pp, [1]. Disbound. Light foxing and creasing in places, overall clean and crisp. Presentation copy, inscribed to head of title; 'From the author'. Thoughts on the Catholic Question, published the year after Mitford (1748-1830) was dismissed from his position as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, presents a vitriolic polemic against Catholic Emancipation. Notably Mitford does not attack Catholicism directly, rather he seeks to persuade the reader that the hierarchy of the Roman Church ought to be eliminated - and with that would crumble the cries for emancipation, particularly in Ireland; 'and the Roman Catholic.will find a freedom from the tyranny of his own priesthood which he has never hitherto enjoyed', and 'will live in harmony with his Protestant neighbour.' Rare, with COPAC recording only five copies; BL, Cambridge, National Trust, Senate House, York Minster. Size: 8vo.

Store description

Established 2007, Antiquates Ltd is an Antiquarian bookseller with a large, custom built shop in the heart of the Dorset countryside. We sell fine and rare books from our Wareham shop, in catalogues, and via our website (www.antiquates.co.uk). Specialising in early printed books both English and Continental, fine English Literature, and books by, for, and about Women and Children, we nevertheless stock a wide range of works on paper from 1500-present - including modern first editions. Our bias is towards the unusual, the interesting and the important - and always have a good stock of rare books by local authors such as T.E. Lawrence and Thomas Hardy; we are just the place if you're looking for an extra-special gift for a wedding, birthday, anniversary or graduation. (Open Wednesday - Saturday, 10am-4pm)…
