Whigs and Tories in the Revolution Era Debate
The writer argues that current Whigs and Tories resemble their historical counterparts in opposing reform, claiming both sides share similar aims and old spirit of opposition to Popery. The piece critiques a recent pamphlet’s claim that dissenters misread Tory toleration and warns that Tories remain capable of persecution, urging readers to judge the author’s intent and the parties’ true principles.
