A fragmentary letter argues against Church of Rome tythes and supports paying ministers only to each religious society. It notes Quakers fund their own ministers and aid the poor of other groups, urging universal liberty of conscience and voluntary contributions for virtue and charity.
A letter questions W P's claim that tythes are the oldest estates in England. It argues land imports and four shilling land tax shifts value, asks whether landowners should pay Peter Pence and Dane Gelt, and notes Quakers oppose tythes as unjust and unchristian. It ends with a public testimony against paying or receiving them.
Extract from Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke, published as a letter to a friend in Paris. It compares the Constitutional and Revolution Societies, critiques the latter led by a figure like Bt. Price, and contrasts 1688 with the French crisis, urging a restoration of past foundations and dignity in the national assembly.
The passage urges a people to honor ancestral constitutional models rather than reinventing the wheel. It contrasts old Common Law Europe with modern independence, warning against vanity and urging virtue, a liberal order, and prudent governance to achieve true equality and enduring happiness.
