James Lord

The Vatican and St. James's, Or, England Independent of Rome James Lord

The following work deserves the attentive perusal of British subjects. I am not recommending a book written by myself, or in which I have any interest, or I should refrain from using such expression. The chief portion of it consists of two deeply interesting, and important cases, in which a constitutional, legal, and historical review is taken of the aggressions of Rome, whether in spiritual or temporal matters, and of the mode in which such aggressions were met and resisted by our ancestors, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant. If any should be inclined to repudiate the wisdom of the past; to reject the light which historic documents shed upon the dark and stealthy footprints of Popery; to contend that the enlightenment of the present day is too great for Rome to endure; let them bear in mind that though the essential nature of Romanism is not changed, she has acquired far better means of advancing her interests than she possessed centuries ago.
