A propos de cet article

[1], 45p. Disbound. Second edition. The first published in the same year. This second edition, as the author states in the preface, was published with additional notes. Richard Price FRS (1723-1791) was a Welsh philosopher, minister and mathematician. In 1770, Price gained significant recognition as a defender of the American Revolution. He believed, as Thomas Jefferson stated in a letter to James Madison, in the "indefinite perfectibility of man". Elazar writes in Downfall of all Slavish Hierarchies; Richard Price on Emancipation, Improvement and Republican Utopia; "that Price's view of the significance of the American Revolution for the future of Europe was initially dominated by two ideas: he saw the American colonies as an asylum for Protestant Dissenters in particular and for "the virtuous and oppressed among mankind" in general, and he believed that while the new world was rising, the old world was decaying and hastening toward catastrophe". In this sermon, Price criticizes Britain for the wickedness and corruption while to the righteous, he offered first and foremost a hope to follow the example of Lot and Noah and escape across the Atlantic to a place of safety. Sabin #65456. Adams, The American Controversy #79-90b. Jeffersons Writings p1076. Not located in American Antiquarian Society's online catalog. A fresh clean copy.…
