Canning and Pitt Club Protestants Toastrow in 18th Century Dispute
Letters between Mr. Canning and the Pitt Club management reveal a clash over the Protestant Ascendancy and Catholic Emancipation. The committee denounces the Irish Orange Toast linked to Catholic emancipation fears, while Canning argues his stance aligns with constitutional principles. The exchange continues with formal replies and resolutions from the club reflected in May 1817 correspondence.
