A Letter To The Electors, Upon The Catholic Question (1826)

""A Letter To The Electors, Upon The Catholic Question"" is a political pamphlet written by Sydney Smith in 1826. The pamphlet addresses the issue of Catholic emancipation, which was a controversial topic in Britain at the time. Catholic emancipation referred to the granting of full civil rights to Catholics, who had previously been excluded from many aspects of public life. In the pamphlet, Smith argues in favor of Catholic emancipation, stating that it is a matter of justice and fairness. He also criticizes those who oppose the measure, arguing that their arguments are based on prejudice and fear rather than reason. Smith's argument is informed by his own experiences as a clergyman and his belief in the importance of religious tolerance and freedom. Overall, ""A Letter To The Electors, Upon The Catholic Question"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the political and social debates of the early 19th century in Britain. It provides insight into the arguments and perspectives of those who supported Catholic emancipation, and offers a valuable perspective on the struggle for civil rights and religious freedom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
