Found in this book is the origin, progress and the abuses of the cross as devised and enforced by the Bishops of Rome. It was originally written as a research into a curious part of the archeology of politico-ecclesiatical history, and was rewritten and enlarged after the outbreak of the great European revolution of 1848, and during the agitation in that country, caused by the intrusive and aggressive attempt of the bishop and political ruler of the Roman States, to establish his hierarchy, and extend his influence in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
