Un peu de noircissement et d'usure des bords, avec une légère entaille au dos. L'intérieur est propre mais un peu assombri. De nombreuses pages ne sont pas coupées. La théorie de la catharsis d'Aristote, exposée dans la Poétique, affirme que les émotions de pitié et de peur sont suscitées par les représentations théâtrales et, de ce fait, éliminées de la psyché des spectateurs. (Il n'avait manifestement pas vu Peaky Blinders !) Cette thèse remet en question certains éléments de la théorie d'Aristote. Texte en allemand. 128 pages. 210 x 140 mm.

This pamphlet purports to show all of the ways that Papists had attempted to undermine the Church of England since the Reformation. As such, this is almost a literature review of the previous hundred years, summarising Bishop Burnett, Stillingfleet and others, whilst quoting from Parliament and Catholic peers.

Owner's inscriptions to the inside front board and to the 2nd end paper.

Also lacking is leaf 3I2 (page 99/100) with the text here also lacking. Bizarrely, a full page plate, dating from 1814 has been laid in to face page 275. This is an engraving by Wm Craig and L. Brown, showing national liberty crushing the nations of Europe. This is perhaps laid in here as it is opposite an homily against Disobedience and Wilfull rebellion. This long homily, published in various forms, is important, as it was part of the celebrations following the failure of the rebellions against Queen Elizabeth I. To the end of the work is "A thankesgiving for the suppression of the last rebellion."
