The Case of Conscience Solved, or, Catholic Emancipation proved to be compatible with the Coronation Oath: In a letter from a casuist in the country, to his friend in town

1801. Hardback. Dedicated to the Right Honourable W. Wyndham, M.P. &c. with a supplement in answer to Considerations on the said oath, by John Reeves, Esq. Stab-stitched pamphlet. Foxing and early owner signature to title page, page edges frayed. A very nice copy, uncommon with the Supplement. Milner was an important player in the debates leading to Catholic emancipation in 1829. Unfortunately, his conservative views and insistence on a strict separation of the Roman church and the English crown impeded the cause for several years. Regarded as the leading champion of Catholic orthodoxy by his co-religionists, Milner went on to become the Bishop of Castabala and vicar-apostolic of the western district of England.
