Beschreibung

First edition. 8vo. 32pp. Includes bibliographical references. In modern wraps with label on front. Leaves clean and bright. Very good. The Bishop of Oxford, reminds his parishioners of the history of the Jacobite Rebellion: *The plea, which some would use to check this ardour, as if the government we live under ought not to be supported, because the late king James and his son were set aside by the people, is absolutely groundless. For indeed king James set himself aside; abandoned the government wilfully, rather than administer it according to law and by so doing, left the nation at liberty, or rather under necessity, to provide for itself in the manner it did; especially as he carried away the person, whom he called his son, along with him. And had he not been carried away; all the world knows, it was generally and strongly suspected, that he was not the queen's child: and the three estates of the kingdom, the only fit judges of a doubtful succession, fixed it without taking notice of him. * ESTCT47926 [Jacobite Rebellion, 1745-1746].
