A Vindication of Italy and the Papal States (1857)

A Vindication of Italy and the Papal States is a book written by Nicholas Patrick Wiseman and published in 1857. The book is a defense of the Papal States, which were under threat of annexation by the Kingdom of Sardinia at the time. Wiseman argues that the Papal States are a legitimate and necessary part of Italy, and that their annexation would be a violation of the rights of the Catholic Church and the people of Italy. He also defends the character and actions of Pope Pius IX, who was the leader of the Papal States at the time. The book is written in a passionate and persuasive style, and is an important historical document of the political and religious tensions of 19th century Italy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
