Pamphlet, 8vo, pp. 8, with nine wood-engravings. Glue stains on front page, old patch on back page, nicks to edges.
An anti-Catholic satire, with particular reference to Edward Bouverie Pusey (1800-82) and the Oxford Movement. Led by High Church figures Pusey and John Henry Newman, the movement argued for the reinstatement of some older Christian traditions of faith and their inclusion into Anglican liturgy. After Newman converted to Catholicism in 1845, members of the Oxford Movement became known as Puseyites (here caricatured as 'these stupid and blind Pusey-Cats').
