Description

In The Gunpowder Plot Herbert Thurston puts the case that the conspiracy was confined to a small group of people who acted without the support of the wider Catholic family and he seeks to exonerate the Jesuit priesthood from giving any succour whatsoever to the intrigue:

"It is frequently asserted by certain writers that the Gunpowder Plot was the work of Catholics as a body, and was approved and countenanced by the heads of their Church, and by Catholic princes abroad ... This is quite untrue ...it appears to be certain that thirteen turbulent men alone were found to have been engaged in the conspiracy ... it is a mere calumny to charge their guilt upon their fellow Catholics at home or abroad, who vehemently condemned and repudiated the crime ..."

First published by The Catholic Truth Society in 1929, this new edition, with reset test, has had a number of appropriate illustrations added.
