Book Description

Excerpt from The Mysteries of Popery Unveiled, in the Unparalleled Sufferings of John Coustos, at the Inquisition of Lisbon: To Which Is Added, the Origin of the Inquisition and Its Establishment in Various Countries; And the Master Key to Popery In presenting the following work of Coustos's sufferings to the public, it may be remarked that few publications have received so extensive a patronage; which is fully evinced by the respectable list of subscribers annexed to the English copy, prefaced with a dedication to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland, the then Grand Master. This proving the character and merit of the narrative, the publisher is induced to believe that it will be equally acceptable on this side of the Atlantic. A work of this nature, well authenticated, must be considered extremely interesting: but for the honour of humanity, it is hoped there may never be occasion to draw the pen in the same field.
