First edition of this frequently republished work.
It is the cry of a conscience outraged by the compromises of many members of the hierarchy, by the Holy See's condemnation of the aspirations of peoples to their freedom, and its attitude to the savage repression by the Russians of the uprising in Catholic Poland in 1830-1831 (En français dans le texte, n°251).
A fine copy.
