Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Queen Elizabeth and the Penal Laws: With an Introduction on William Cobbett´s History of the Protestant Reformation, Passing in Review the Reigns of Henry VIII, Edward Vi, and Mary "Truth is of so pure and virtuous a Nature that it refuseth to be in league with any falsehood in the world, much more disdaineth to be assisted by it." - Sir Edwin Sandy´s Europae Speculum. It was Lord Bacon who said that Prefaces and passages of excusations are great wastes of time. Adopting this practical advice, I ask my fellow countrymen to give a patient and unprejudiced perusal of the following narrative of the most eventful period of our history. The circumstances connected with that history having been shamefully perverted by the enemies of the Reformation, I would fain hope that my labour will not have been in vain in exposing fallacies and fictions which have been put forth by the opponents of the Protestant constitution of this country. N.B. - Cobbett´s book being divided into paragraphs each bearing a distinct number, the passages quoted are distinguished by such numbers within [], of the first edition dated 1824, preserving his italics and capitals.
