""A Vindication of Italy and the Papal States"" is a book written by Nicholas Patrick Wiseman in 1857. The book is a defense of the Papal States, which were under attack at the time by Italian nationalists who sought to unify Italy and expel foreign powers. Wiseman argues that the Papal States were a legitimate and necessary part of Italy's political and social fabric, and that their existence was essential to the preservation of Italian culture and tradition. He also defends the Catholic Church's role in Italian politics, arguing that it has always been a force for good in the country. The book is written in a clear and persuasive style, and provides a valuable historical perspective on a crucial period in Italian history. It is an important work for anyone interested in the history of Italy, the Catholic Church, or political theory.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
