This large work of 940 pages traces the history of Romanism from the earliest corruptions of Christianity to the proclamation of Papal infallibility, and the deposition of Pius IX. as a temporal sovereign. It not only refutes the errors and superstitions of Romanism, but tells the story of their origin, exhibits the workings of the iniquitous system, reviews historically its domination over kings and princes, its oppression of the consciences, and torture of the bodies, of men, and the efforts of different ones at different times to relieve Christendom of its terrible thraldom. The papacy occupies so prominent a position in the prophetic field, and is gaining such an influence upon the people of this country that any information pertaining to it is of special interest to the student of prophecy.
