Dealings with the Inquisition

Achilli (c.1803-c.60) was an Italian Roman Catholic who was discharged from the priesthood for sexual misconduct and subsequently became a fervent advocate of the Protestant evangelical cause. He is particularly notable for his activities in England and for launching a successful prosecution against John Henry Newman for libel. This work, subtitled Papal Rome, Her Priests, and Her Jesuits, was first published in 1851 and is reprinted from the second enlarged edition of the same year.
