Rfrom oz By-Stander to a Member of Pavrliameny; 8 Cc. He Author of a Letter from a ByStander to a Member of Parliament, feems to inlinuate by the Title, that he is an impartial Writer; though the whole Tenor of his Performance, evidently refutes all his Pretenlions to that Character. He fets out with profelling a Regard to his Country, and a Dere of correéting fome miaken Notions in the People ofBrimin, which are the Motives of his Writing; Profefons which colt very little to Writers who have no Regard to Truth, and which are ever made by thofe who nd it neceary to deceive a Nation, beforc they can effect its Ruin.No Conftitution was ever yet fubverted under any other than fair Pretences; but Impoor: are known by tbeir Fruits, and the Vanity of their Pretences is difcovered by the Methods they take to fupport them, and by the Nature of the Meafures they recommend.

A Full Answer to the Letter From a by-Stander, Wherein His False Calculations,
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a prolonged and detailed analysis of a particular viewpoint as it was expressed in a particular piece of writing. The author dissects the arguments presented in an anonymous publication, titled âA Letter from a Bystander to a Member of Parliament,â and proceeds to systematically refute them. Many of the concepts the author discusses relate to the role of the government, the purpose of the military, and how the government should interact with its military. Through this analysis, the author ultimately concludes that a standing army is a danger to the public, and a militia is a much safer alternative. The arguments are presented in a clear and well-reasoned manner, which enables the reader to both grasp the basic claims the author is making, as well as the detailed evidence they use to support those claims. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of governance or the relationship between a government and its military. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330896549_0
