Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Letters on Political Liberty, and the Principles of the English and Irish Projects of Reform: Addressed to a Member of the English House of Commons
The Saxon conflitution, beautiful in its ge. Neral firuéture, though defective in important parts, was {battered by the Danes, and ref'tored by the immortal Alfred. It was deftroyed at the Conquel't; and ?uctuating forms of tyranny continued hovering over the land moderated by the introduction of the Commons in Parliament by Edward the Firlt, by the provifions of the great charter, the humiliation of the arif'tocracy by Henry the Seventh, the religious Liberty ex totted by the Puritans; and by the Revolution in 1688.
