Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Debate On The Test And Corporation Acts (1790) is a historical book written by Thomas Cooper. The book is a collection of debates and speeches that took place in the British Parliament in 1790 regarding the Test and Corporation Acts. These Acts were laws that required public officials and members of Parliament to take oaths of allegiance to the Church of England and to renounce the Catholic faith. The book provides a detailed account of the arguments for and against the Acts, as well as the political and religious tensions that surrounded them. It includes speeches from prominent figures such as William Pitt the Younger, Charles James Fox, and Edmund Burke, as well as lesser-known voices from both sides of the debate. The Test and Corporation Acts were highly controversial at the time, and the debates captured in this book shed light on the broader issues of religious tolerance and political representation in late 18th century Britain. Cooper's book is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the social and political climate of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
