Sinopsis

""Three Letters to the Tithe Association at the Crown and Anchor in the Strand"" is a book written by an anonymous ""Country Parson"" in 1773. The book is a collection of three letters addressed to the Tithe Association, an organization that advocated for the collection of tithes, or a tenth of a person’s income, to support the Church of England. In the letters, the Country Parson argues against the Tithe Association’s position, claiming that tithes are unjust and harmful to the poor. He argues that tithes are not supported by scripture and that they are a burden on the poor, who are often unable to pay them. The Country Parson also argues that tithes are a source of corruption, as they encourage clergymen to focus on collecting money rather than serving their congregations. Throughout the book, the Country Parson uses biblical references and historical examples to support his arguments. He also offers alternative solutions to the problem of supporting the Church, such as voluntary contributions and a more equitable distribution of wealth. Overall, ""Three Letters to the Tithe Association"" is a passionate and well-reasoned critique of the practice of tithing in 18th century England. It offers a unique perspective on the role of the Church in society and the relationship between religion and economics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
