Synopsis
Considerations on the Late Disturbances offers a clear, pointed look at the debates over religious penalties, education, and state policy in 18th‑century Britain. This edition presents a sustained argument about how laws and public opinion shape liberty, conscience, and national unity.
The text evaluates a petition that seeks new penalties and reforms related to Papists and Protestant dissenters. It questions how repealing or retaining harsh statutes would affect public safety, civil rights, and the balance of power. It also weighs the consequences of indulgences granted to some groups and how those acts influence education, property, and allegiance to the crown.
What you’ll experience
- A candid critique of how political factions frame religious differences as threats to the state
- A detailed discussion of which penalties remained after a law was passed and how they apply
- Consideration of education, charity, and the rights of parents to raise their children in their own conscience
- Reflections on how toleration or persecution can reshape public life and national loyalty
Ideal for readers of historical political debate, constitutional controversies, and 18th‑century policy discussions looking for a brisk, accessible defense of public order and civil liberty.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the causes and effects of the Gordon Riots in 1780, which were sparked by the author's parliamentary support for the Catholic Relief Act. The author argues that the riots were not motivated by religious bigotry, but rather by economic and political grievances. The book explores the broader historical context of the riots, including the rise of Methodism and the impact of the American Revolution. The author also examines the role of the government and the press in inciting the violence. Ultimately, the book argues that the Gordon Riots were a complex and multifaceted event that cannot be easily explained by any single factor. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
