Excerpt from Letter to Cardinal Wiseman: In Answer to His "Remarks on Lady Morgan's Statements Regarding St. Peter's Church"
And now, my Lord to the charge. You open your Remarks thus Lady Morgan was originally known to the public as a writer of romance. So long as She persevered in that character, she had a right to invent amusing tales to gratify the curiosity of her readers: yet even the regions of fiction are subject to the great laws of justice and good faith; nor can that writer hope for indulgence, who, under the dis guise of a fabulous narrative, conceals an attack upon the reputation and character of others.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. In this book, the author, Lady Morgan, defends herself against criticisms made by the recently appointed Cardinal Wiseman, regarding her description of an ancient chair in St. Peter's Basilica. The author argues that she was not presenting false or slanderous information, but stating the consensus of widely respected scholars of her time. She uses Wiseman's appointment to the Cardinalate as a way to discuss the separation of church and state in the United Kingdom as opposed to Italy, where Wiseman also holds the secular post of Archbishop of Westminster. Morgan uses these intertwined themes of fraudulent relics, the division of secular and religious authority, and anti-Papal sentiment to provide a historical overview of the struggle between the Catholic Church and the people of the United Kingdom.
