A Lecture on Irish Repeal, in Elucidation of the Fallacy of Its Principles, and in Proof of Its Pernicious Tendency, in Its Moral, Religious, and Political Aspects A Lecture on Irish Repeal, in Elucidation of the Fallacy of Its Principles, and in Proof of Its Pernicious Tendency, in Its Moral, Religious, and Political Aspects

Pamphlet by Lewis C. Levin published in Philadelphia in 1844. This 24-page, 12mo pamphlet argues against Irish independence, highlighting its perceived moral, religious, and political dangers. Levin, a prominent figure in the Nativist movement, frames the Irish Repeal movement as a threat to American liberty, linking it to the Catholic Church and its supposed goals to undermine the United States. The pamphlet shows signs of age, including minor foxing and a small hole on the third leaf. WorldCat lists only 7 copies, 5 of which are located in the USA. This pamphlet is significant for its connection to Levin's political career and the Philadelphia Nativist Riots of 1844.
