| Summary | "Pilgrimage from the Alps to the Tiber: or, The Influence of Romanism on Trade, Justice, and Knowledge" by Rev. J.A. Wylie, LL.D. is a historical travelogue written in the mid-19th century. The book examines the effects of Roman Catholicism on various aspects of society within Italy, exploring themes of liberty, justice, and knowledge. It also features reflections on the author's journey through Italy, filled with historical commentary about the region and its past. The beginning of the work sets the stage for the author's fascinating exploration as he prepares to embark on a journey through Italy, moving from the Alps to Rome. He expresses a desire to investigate the influence of the Papacy on the governance and society of the Italian states, reflecting on the storied history that underpins modern challenges. The author touches upon significant historical events, the cultural richness of the land, and the struggles for liberty that shape the destinies of nations. It is a thoughtful prelude to what promises to be a deeply reflective pilgrimage through a land where the past and present collide with monumental implications.
