49pp, [1]. Disbound. Light foxing and creasing in places, overall clean and crisp. Presentation copy, inscribed to head of title; 'From the author'. Thoughts on the Catholic Question, published the year after Mitford (1748-1830) was dismissed from his position as Lord Chancellor of Ireland, presents a vitriolic polemic against Catholic Emancipation. Notably Mitford does not attack Catholicism directly, rather he seeks to persuade the reader that the hierarchy of the Roman Church ought to be eliminated - and with that would crumble the cries for emancipation, particularly in Ireland; 'and the Roman Catholic.will find a freedom from the tyranny of his own priesthood which he has never hitherto enjoyed', and 'will live in harmony with his Protestant neighbour.' Rare, with COPAC recording only five copies; BL, Cambridge, National Trust, Senate House, York Minster. Size: 8vo.
