This book was released on 2018-05-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anecdotes of the Life of Richard Watson, Bishop of Landaff In 1769, I preached an Assize Sermon at Cambridge, and was desired by the Judge to publish it. This being the first of my publications, (for 'my Metallurgic Institutes were not published, ) I dedicated it to the only person to whom I owed any obligation; Mr. 'luther. I made it a rule never to dedicate to those from whom I expected favours, but to those only from whom I had received them. The dedication of my Collection of Theological Tracts to the Queen did not come under either of these descrip tions; it proceeded from the Opinion I then entertained of her merit, as a wife and a mother. At the time this sermon was preached, government was greatly relaxed; and-mobs, which I ever detested, thinking senseless popularity beneath the notice of genuine Whiggism, were very rife in favour of Mr. Wilkes. But though I disliked Mr. Wilkes's mobs, I did not dislike his cause, judging that the constitution was violated in the treatment he received beth from the King's ministers, and the House of Com mons. His case not only made a great noise at home, but was much bruited abroad; in cloisters, as well as in courts; amongst monks, as well as politicians. I happened to be at Paris about that time; and the only question which I was aske a Carthuf sian monk, who showed me his monastery, was, er Mon sieur Vilkes, or the King, had got the better.

Download or read book An Enlightenment Statesman in Whig Britain written by Nigel Aston and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new assessment of the life and political career of Lord Shelburne, prime minister 1782-83, and of the context in which he lived. Lord Shelburne, Prime Minister in 1782-83, was a profoundly important politician, whose achievements included the negotiation of the peace with the newly-independent United States. This book constitutes a major and long overdue reappraisal of the politician considered by Disraeli to be the "most neglected Prime Minister". The book indicates, caters for, and leads the revival of interest in high politics, including its gendered aspects. It covers Shelburne's friends, his finances, and his politics, and places him carefully within both an international and a national context. For the first time his complicated but compelling family life, his satisfying relations with women, andhis Irish ancestry are presented as essential factors for understanding his public impact overall. Shelburne was a politician, patron, and cultural leader whose relationship to many of the ideas, influences, and individuals of the European Enlightenment are also emphasised. The book is thoroughly up to date, written by leading authorities in the field, and predominantly based on unpublished primary research. Shelburne and his circle constituted oneof the most important [and progressive] elements in British and European politics during the second half of the eighteenth century, and the book will appeal to all readers interested in the Enlightenment.

Download or read book Political Pamphlets and Sermons from Wales 1790 1806 written by Marion Löffler and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-10-15 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pamphleteering was a vital component of the popular political discussion opened up by the French Revolution of 1789, but while the English pamphlet wars have been exhaustively explored, Welsh pamphlet literature has been ignored. During the fifteen years following the French Revolution of 1789, over 100 Welsh pamphlets and sermons engaged in a public discourse which discussed the larger issues raised by the Revolution and the war against the French Republic. This pioneering volume seeks to capture the excitement of the period by demonstrating how radicals and loyalists, Dissenters, Methodists and Churchmen, pacifists and warmongers engaged in a lively argument in their published works. An in-depth essay reviews and interprets texts written by artisans, Dissenting ministers, country curates and Anglican bishops, who all used religion as politics; promoted war or peace; argued over republicanism and loyalism, and utilized the law as a stage for political ideas. All texts are fully translated and thus made accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth-century bishops of the Church of England and its sister communions had immense status and authority in both secular society and the Church. They fully merit fresh examination in the light of recent scholarship, and in this volume leading experts offer a comprehensive survey and assessment of all things episcopal between the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688 and the early nineteenth-century. These were centuries when the Anglican Church enjoyed exclusive establishment privileges across the British Isles (apart from Scotland). The essays collected here consider the appointment and promotion of bishops, as well as their duties towards the monarch and in Parliament. All were expected to display administrative skills, some were scholarly, others were interested in the fine arts, most had wives and families. All of these themes are discussed, and Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the American colonies receive specific examination.
