A History of the Holy Catholic Inquisition. Compiled from Various Sourcees.

Early edition. Twelvemo. xi, [1], 192 pp. plus 6 full page illustrations certain to scare people away from "The Whore of Babylon." Publisher's quarter black linen over brick colored boards, printed paper spine label. About 1/3 of the label is now absent, boards rubbed, tips worn, lacking rear blank. A very presentable copy nonetheless.Anti-Papist publications were a cottage industry for much of this nation's history, This work stands above the large majority of such works and Cyrus Mason was no an ill-educated tent preacher but rather a Yale graduate, a Presbyterian minister, a member of the original Council of New York University (NYU), then called the University of the City of New York. In 1836 Mason became Professor of the Evidences of Revealed Religion at NYU.
