The Trial Of William Whiston, Clerk

The Trial of William Whiston, Clerk: For Defaming and Denying the Holy Trinity, Before the Lord Chief Justice Reason is a book written by the famous poet Alexander Pope in 1740. It tells the story of the trial of William Whiston, a prominent theologian and mathematician, who was accused of defaming and denying the Holy Trinity, a fundamental doctrine of Christianity. The trial took place in the 18th century, during a time of great religious controversy in England. Pope's book provides a detailed account of the trial, including the arguments made by Whiston and his accusers, as well as the verdict and its aftermath. The book is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the religious and intellectual debates of the time, and provides insight into the role of the courts in regulating religious beliefs and practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
