Publisher's Synopsis
The Vision of Judgment is a satirical poem written by a noble author in 1822. The poem is a response to the death of King George III, who was widely praised for his piety and moral character. The author takes a critical approach to the idea of divine judgment, imagining a farcical scene in which Saint Peter is overwhelmed by the sheer number of souls clamoring to be admitted to heaven. The poem is notable for its irreverent tone, mocking the idea of divine intervention in human affairs and questioning the legitimacy of religious authority. Despite its controversial subject matter, The Vision of Judgment has been praised for its wit and literary skill, and remains a significant work in the history of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
