A Church of England clergyman and biblical scholar, George Townsend
(1788 1857) gained recognition for preparing chronological
arrangements of both the Old and New Testament. First published in
1850, the present work is an intriguing account of his journey to
Italy for an audience with Pope Pius IX, whom he intended to
convert to Protestantism. Townsend's journal features details of
his stay in Paris, where he was received by the city's archbishop,
as well as remarks on the churches and clergy he encountered along
the way. In Rome and the Vatican, he visited the main sites of
interest while commenting on points of doctrinal divergence and the
hospitality shown towards him. Warmly received by Pius IX, who
chose to interpret the visit as ecumenical, Townsend inevitably
failed in his ultimate objective. Tendentious and forthright, his
work sheds light on a strain of English anti-Catholicism."
