Duodecimo, 420 pages, full calf, shaken, waterstained; offered "as is". Gavin claimed to be a Spanish priest when he arrived in England in 1715. His anti-Catholic expose appeared at Dublin in 1724. It is also a remarkable account of adventure, and autobiography, and "true confessions". Gavin later emigrated to the Virginia Colony where he served as an Anglican priest. His widow, Rachael Gavin, presented a copy of THE MASTER-KEY OF POPERY to fellow Virginian, Thomas Jefferson [ Sowerby ]. The last section, THE PRESERVATIVE AGAINST POPERY, was by Rev. Joseph Blanco White, formerly the Chaplain to the King of Spain, who joined the Church of England as a priest, but was also a published poet.
