By John Cox Hippisley

Book Overview

The Catholic Question: Substance Of The Speech Of J. C. Hippisley (1812) is a historical book that presents the speech of John Cox Hippisley, a British politician and advocate for Catholic emancipation, delivered in the House of Commons in 1812. The Catholic Question refers to the debate over the rights of Catholics to hold public office and worship freely in England, which was a highly contentious issue at the time. Hippisley's speech argues for the repeal of discriminatory laws against Catholics and highlights the contributions of Catholics to British society. The book provides a valuable insight into the political and social climate of early 19th century England and the struggle for religious freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
