A pamphlet relating to the controversial career of Dr Robert Reid Kalley (1809-1888), a Scottish missionary who after obtaining a medical qualification practiced in Portugal. Kalley's evangelizing brought him into conflict with the Catholic Church and the local police. He was eventually arrested and imprisoned in July 1843 on charges of blasphemy, heresy, and apostasy, which carried the death penalty. From prison he mounted a campaign for his release in the British newspapers and the British embassy in Lisbon helped to secure his freedom in January 1844. This work was Kalley's response to the 1845 publication by 'Madeirense' entitled: Revista historica do proselytismo anti-catholico exercido na Ilha da Madeira.
