[EAN: 9780880293990], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Dorset Press, New York], ENGLISH HISTORY; POLITICAL ACTIVISM; 18TH CENTURY RIOTS; CULTURAL SOCIAL RELIGIOUS RELIGION AND POLITICS, Jacket, 8.40 X 5.60 X 0.90 inches; xi, 184 pages; Hard cover is black with gold lettering on spine. DJ and book have some sunning. Pages are clean and tight; appears as if unused. Illustrated with 10 b/w pictures. "The Gordon Riots of 1780 began as an anti-Catholic protest in London against the Papists Act of 1778, which intended to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics. The protest evolved into riots and looting. The Popery Act 1698 had imposed a number of penalties and disabilities on Roman Catholics in England; the 1778 Act eliminated some of these. An initial peaceful protest led on to widespread rioting and looting and was the most destructive of the 18th century in London. Painted on the wall of Newgate prison was the proclamation that the inmates had been freed by the authority of "His Majesty, King Mob". The term "King Mob" ever after denoted an unruly and fearsome proletariat". Originally published by Longmans, Green, 1958., Books<
