Excerpt from The Vatican and St. James's, or England Independent of Rome: With Introductory Remarks on Spiritual and Temporal Power The following work deserves the attentive perusal of British subjects. I am not recommending a book written by myself, or in which I have any interest, or I Should refrain from using such expression. The chief portion of it consists of two deeply interesting, and important cases, in which a constitutional, legal, and historical review is taken of the aggressions of Rome, whether in spiritual or temporal matters, and of the mode in which such aggressions were met and resisted by our ancestors, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant.
