To the Inhabitants of Laleham, Rugby, 6 March 1829, printed by R. Wetton, Chertsey, [Surrey], printed broadside in support of Catholic Emancipation, some old staining, dust-soiling and creasing, a few short marginal splits and fold tears with only minor loss to lettering in one word and with no loss of sense, 54 x 34 cm Thomas Arnold was appointed headmaster at Rugby School in 1828 after ten years teaching at Laleham, a village on the Thames. This broadside was published in the same year as his pamphlet 'On the Christian Duty of Conceding the Roman Catholic Claim', a work that offended the political sensibilities of the liberals and the incompetence of the clergy as judges of history.
