Minor staining to the top margin of the first few pages. Otherwise a very good copy of a scarce work. Association copy: Armorial bookplate of Joseph Gillow to front free-endpaper and signed note by Gillow on the front pastedown identifying the author of this anonymous work as Fr. Robert Manning and referring to his entry on Manning in Gillow's monumental work the Biographical and Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics 5 vols 1885-1902. Gillow 1850-1921 was an English Roman Catholic antiquary and bio-bibliographer referred to by Thomas Bridgett in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as 'the Plutarch of the English Catholics.' The English Short Title Catalog No. T59201 locates copies of this work at only five American institutions: Univ. of Notre Dame Univ. of Pennsylvania UCLA St. Louis University and Perkins School of Theology at SMU. ~H~ The author of this anonymous work Robert Manning 1655-1731 was an English Roman Catholic priest and controversialist. Born to an English mother and Dutch father Manning entered the English College Douai in 1668 and later taught humanities and philosophy there. Ordained a priest in 1690 he was sent to the English mission in 1692 becoming chaplain to Lord Petre and other members of the Petre family at Ingatestone Hall. Stylish learned and dialectically convincing Manning produced a string of polemical works that rank him as one of the leading figures in that silver age of English Catholic controversial writing. Michael Mullett ed. 'English Catholicism 1680-1830' Vol. 1 pp. 289-90. In his preface to this work Manning refers to the anonymous tract entitled 'A Protestant's Resolution Showing His Reasons Why He Will Not be a Papist Directed to the Meanest Capacity.' This tract was frequently reprinted the sixth edition London 1684. The end of the title to this work by Manning reads: 'With a preface and appendix in vindication of Catholick morals from the old calumnies faithfully collected in a libel entitled A Protestant's resolution &c.' The publisher of this edition Thomas Meighan is sometimes referred to as the 'father of Catholic booksellers in 18th century London' working during a time when it was most impolitic to be a Catholic there let alone a Catholic publisher and bookseller. His shop was at the northern end of Drury Lane in the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. He can be found in business there as early as September 13 1715 when Viscount Townshend Secretary of State for the Northern Department issued instructions for the interception of mail destined to 'Mr. Mahon's a bookseller near the Crown tavern in Drury Lane.' Advertisements Meighan published in 1715 and 1717 display a wide range of Catholic books. Not content with selling he also became what we would call nowadays a publisher that is one who acted as a catalyst and helped authors to get their books printed and sold and as early as 1715 we find a book with 'sold by Thomas Meighan' in the imprint. Usually however the restrictions on English Catholics prevented such a public display and most Catholic works appeared anonymously often with false imprints so that it is impossible to identify the printer much less ascertain which bookseller sold the work. In 1726 when the government decided to seize all copies of Robert Manning's newly printed 'England's Conversion and Reformation Compared' the warrants were issued only against Meighan implying that the book was on sale at his shop alone. s.n.

Refers to the Gordon Riots also called No-Popery Riots that took place in London in June 1780. The Anti-Catholic agitation was instigated by Lord George Gordon. From Wikipedia: "The Gordon Riots of 1780 began as an anti-Catholic protest in London against the Papists Act of 1778 which intended to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics. The protest evolved into riots and looting. The Gordon Riots by Charles Green. The Popery Act 1698 had imposed a number of penalties and disabilities on Roman Catholics in England; the 1778 Act eliminated some of these. An initial peaceful protest led on to widespread rioting and looting and was the most destructive in the history of London. Painted on the wall of Newgate prison was the proclamation that the inmates had been freed by the authority of "His Majesty King Mob". The term "King Mob" afterwards denoted an unruly and fearsome proletariat.The Riots came at the height of the American War of Independence when Britain was fighting American rebels France Spain and the Dutch Republic. They led to unfounded fears that they had been a deliberate attempt by France and Spain to destabilise Britain before an imminent invasion similar to the Armada of 1779. G. Kearsly unknown books
