This book provides a detailed account of a high-profile libel trial that took place in 1852. The trial pitted the Italian anti-Catholic activist Giacinto Achilli against the prominent English theologian John Henry Newman. The case raised important questions about freedom of speech, the authority of the church, and the role of religion in society. This is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of law and religion in Victorian England.
