The Principles of the Revolution Vindicated in a Sermon Preached Before the University of Cambridge, on Wednesday, May 29, 1776. By Richard Watson, ... Second Edition. of 1; Volume 1

by Richard Watson

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Reviews

[Miles Smith · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good sermon on political theology from a future Church of England bishop that touches on constitutionalism, post-constitutionalism, the American Revolution, and more.
