Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Brand of Dominic: Or, Inquisition; At Rome "Supreme and Universal"
To impart correct information, and to assist the general reader in forming his judgment of the Inquisition as it was and as it is, is the object proposed to himself by the author. He has not attempted to give anything more than a well-authenti cated statement of its establishment and progress. Much more might have been related under the title of this little volume; but those countries where the system of the Inquisi tion was never established, although they were theatres of persecution, are not included. Neither would the author have been justified in including all persecuting courts or authorities under the single name of Inquisition. He has la boured to be technically exact, and preferred passing over doubtful anecdotes to setting forth as history what is no better than romance; and has also thought it more important to dis close the policy and the power of this member of the Romish Church, than to multiply recitals of the same class, beyond what is really necessary to complete a truthful picture.
