From the book:
The Two Babylons - or
The Papal Worship Proved to be the Worship of Nimrod and His Wife
by the Late Rev. Alexander Hislop
First published as a pamphlet in 1853—greatly expanded in 1858
NOTE BY THE EDITOR
“Had the lamented author been spared to superintend the issue of the Fourth Edition of his work, it is probable he would have felt himself called upon to say something in reference to the political and ecclesiastical events that have occurred since the publication of the last edition. By the authoritative promulgation of the dogma of the Pope’s Infallibility, his argument as to the time of the slaying of the Witnesses, and his identification of the Roman pontiff as the legitimate successor of Belshazzar have been abundantly confirmed.”.
