Abstract
The Protestant government of Elizabethan England had at its command a large number of means to prevent the production and circulation of Catholic books. To meet the challenge posed by the scurrilous tract known as "Leicester's Commonwealth" (1584), the officials employed all of those normal means and invented some extraordinary ones for the occasion. From the evidence of the book's circulation and its later effects, however, the government's attempts at suppression must be said largely to have failed.
