ABSTRACT

The Anti-Maynooth Petition. A Tract for the Times by a delegate to the Anti-Maynooth Conference, London and Bath, 1845. A popularization of the case against the Maynooth grant. The dialogue method was copied from the popular propaganda of the Anti-Corn Law League. In this example, a Protestant waverer is persuaded to sign the anti-Maynooth petition after a brief and simple rehearsal of the evil tendencies of the College. The work is anonymous, but was almost certainly written by Edward Tottenham, Prebendary of Wells and minister of Laura Chapel, Bath.
