Sinopsis

Excerpt from An Answer to Two Letters: Addressed to the Late Right Honourable George Canning by the Rev. Henry Philpotts, Rector of Stanhope, on the Subject of the Roman Catholic Claims

As the period approaches, when we may expect at tempts to renew the sensation produced by your letters to the late Mr Canning, I avail myself of the present moment to address you on the subject of them, andto appeal to the religious feelings of the public in behalf of my Roman Catholic brethren. I have examined the matters contained in those letters with very minute atten tion, and the examination has convinced me, that, al though written with much ingenuity and address, and with no inconsiderable display of learned research, they are utterly undeserving of the reputation and influence which they have acquired. The weakness of their pre tensions may be easily exposed, by a brief analysis of some of their most formidable statements; and the cause of the Roman Catholics may be assisted by the sugges tion of some considerations founded on a religious view of the subject. For these purposes I venture to take up my pen.

"The part a Member of the Commonwealth shall take in political contentions, the vote he shall give, the support he shall afford, or the opposition he shall make to any system of public measures, is as much a question of personal duty, as much concerns the conscience of the individual who deliberates, as the determination of any doubt which relates to the conduct of private life."

Paley's Preface to Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy.
