William Stevens
This is a response to a sermon given at Cambridge University by Richard Watson in 1776 entitled 'The Principles of the Revolution Vindicated.' The author, William Stevens, presents his 'Strictures' in the form of a letter to a friend, offering a critique of Watson’s arguments. The document offers insight into the political and religious debates surrounding the concept of revolution in 18th-century Britain. Readers interested in the history of political thought, British history, and the theological controversies of the period will find this a valuable primary source.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
