Description: London, Catholic Record Society, 1975. First Edition. Hardcover. Blue cloth. Two volumes. Fold-out plates. Both books in fine condition. The Catholic Record Society (Registered Charity No. 313529), "the premier Catholic historical society in the United Kingdom", founded in 1904, is a scholarly society devoted to the study of Reformation and post-Reformation Catholicism in England and Wales. Particularly active members in its early years were Joseph Gillow, J. H. Pollen, and Joseph S. Hansom. The society was initially established as a text publication society, with the aim of publishing Catholic historical records. Only later did it become a more general historical society. It has been credited with making much otherwise obscure archival material more readily available. This two-volume set details Catholic life in Bath in the period following the English Reformation. Volume I contains miscellaneous historical documents, Bath documents that were stored in the French national archives, the Gordon Riots Documents, and the Journal of Peter Augustine Baines. Volume II contains registers from 1780-1825. .
