Bernard" on the front paste-down end-paper; ex-library, with library stamp on verso of title-page. The Roman Catholic priest Joseph Berington (1743–1827) is best-known for his The State and Behaviour of English Catholics from the Reformation to the Year 1780, in which he wrote that if "certain obstacles [were] removed, such as the views of interest, the animosity of party, the blindness of prejudice, and those thick clouds which controversy has raised, it would then appear, that the Protestant Church of England and Catholics are divided by very thin partitions." In that work, as well as the present one, he set out a programme of reform and toleration for Roman Catholics.
