(MONK, Maria [1817?-1849]).
AWFUL EXPOSURE Of The Atrocious Plot Formed By Certain Individuals Against The Clergy And Nuns Of Lower Canada, Through The Intervention Of Maria Monk. With An Authentic Narrative Of Her Life, From Her Birth To The Present Moment And An Account Of Her Impositions, Etc.
New York: Printed For Jones & Co. of Montreal, 1836..
12mo. pp. 11, 131. original patterned cloth (some chipping to extremities & spine label, some foxing). First Edition. Pointing out the manifest absurdities, contradictions and falsehoods of the Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk (1836), including sworn documentary evidence and a biographical sketch of Maria Monk. Maria Monk's narrative is one of the most famous examples of nineteenth century American anti-Catholic propaganda. The mysterious Maria Monk found ready help and encouragement in the publication of her charges by men associated with the American nativist movement, the Rev. George Bourne and the Rev. W.C.Brownlee. Within a few years of the appearance of her slanderous and scandalous disclosures of the wicked activities engaged in at the Hotel Dieu nunnery in Montreal (from where, she claimed to have just escaped), Maria Monk had slipped back into obscurity. She died on Welfare Island where she was imprisoned on charges of petty thievery and immorality. For an interesting account of the Maria Monk controversy, see Ralph Thompson's article 'The Maria Monk Affair' in 'The Colophon', Part Seventeen. TPL 7395. Lande 1992. Gagnon II 86. Sabin 49994.
