Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Porcupine´s Works, Vol. 8 of 12: Containing Various Writings and Selections, Exhibiting a Faithful Picture of the United States of America Church in Virginia. - Virginia, 22d Dec. 1797. Sir, In all free countries the press ought to be the chief censorial power, in all cases of perfect or imperfect obligation, above the reach and penalties of law. It gives me, as a citizen of the United States, as a lover of order and government, of morality and religion, great complacency to observe, that nothing of turpitude, whether it be the act of the individual, or the legislature, whether proximate or remote,escapes your censure. I am led to this opinion more strongly than I ever before entertained it, from noticing in your paper of the 13th of November, your strictures on the resolutions of the last Assembly in respect to the property called church-lands or glebes, which have been for ages, by the most sacred laws, secured to the clergy of our episcopal church: I perceive too, in a subsequent Gazette of this month, you have detected the false reasoning they contain, and exposed to contempt the author of such a nimsy production. If you think it worthy of attention, you may publish the enclosed Representation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
