Book ID: 70436

Price: 175.00

The Nullity of the Government of Queen Victoria in Ireland on the Pope, the virtual ruler of the land being an exhibition of the laws of the Papacy, set up by the romish bishops in 1830 by abjuring which they gained political power containing the original documents, with translations. The bishops’ oaths, and a copious table of contents. Dublin: Richard Moore, 1839. First Edition. Pp xliv, 235, [12]. Original cloth boards, title label to spine. Broads faded, contents in good condition.

A polemical Protestant tract arguing that the British Crown’s authority in Ireland had been effectively undermined by the influence of the Roman Catholic Church—specifically, by what M’Ghee saw as the political and legal power exercised by the Papacy through the Irish Catholic hierarchy.

The work is characteristic of the intense religious and political tensions of the 1830s, particularly in the years following Catholic Emancipation (1829).
