Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Last Thoughts of a Naval Officer, on the Unlawfulness of War, &C: In a Letter to This Late Majesty, George the Fourth; And a Series of Letters to His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury
From the conviction that war - war defensive as well as o?'ensive, - is directly opposed to the will of the Great Ruler of the Universe, as revealed in the Gospel of Peace, the author deemed it his sacred duty, after the most diligent and painful inquiry, to resign the commission, and half-pay, which he had for many years held as a Captain in the Naval Service of his country; and publicly to assign his reasons for a proceeding so novel, and extraordinary. This he did in a Letter to his reigning Sovereign, George the Fourth, which Letter he published early in the year 1825.
