Book Overview

""A Historical Review Of The Policy Of The British Government, In The Treatment Of Its Catholic Subjects"" is a book written by Henry William Tancred and published in 1815. The book provides a comprehensive historical review of the British government's policies towards its Catholic subjects, from the time of the Reformation to the present day. It explores the various laws and regulations that were put in place to restrict the rights of Catholics, including the Penal Laws, which were in force for over 200 years. The book also examines the various attempts made by Catholics to gain greater political and social rights, including the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, which granted Catholics the right to sit in Parliament and hold public office. Tancred argues that the British government's treatment of its Catholic subjects was often unjust and discriminatory, and that it was only through the efforts of Catholics themselves that their rights were eventually recognized. Overall, ""A Historical Review Of The Policy Of The British Government, In The Treatment Of Its Catholic Subjects"" provides a valuable insight into the history of Catholicism in Britain, and sheds light on the struggles and triumphs of the Catholic community in their fight for equality and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
