Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating exploration of the role of monarchs in 18th-century England. The author, a priest, takes as his starting point the biblical text from Proverbs that "for the transgression of a land many are its princes." Expounding on this, the author argues that frequent changes in leadership and civil divisions among multiple pretenders to a throne are a sign of a nation's sins, but that a king who is wise and religious can prolong his reign and secure the constitution. The author sees the accession of such a monarch as a great blessing to his subjects. After examining the negative effects of a succession of short reigns and frequent changes in government, he discusses the positive impact of a single, wise ruler. The book concludes with some practical inferences for readers, urging them to avoid fomenters of division, to live good lives in order to prevent calamities, and to pray for the happiness and prosperity of their rulers. This thought-provoking work offers a unique perspective on the relationship between monarchy and national well-being and sheds light on the political and religious climate of 18th-century England.
