A Complete Collection of State Trials and Proceedings for High Treason and Other Crimes and Misdemeanors From the Earliest Period to the Year 1783, Vol. 15 of 21 - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents the transcript of Henry Sacheverell's trial which took place in 1710. Sacheverell, an Anglican clergyman and politician, preached two inflammatory sermons in 1709 in which he criticized the government's toleration of Dissenters, attacked the Whig ministry, and defended the Church of England's divine right to rule. His sermons sparked outrage and he was impeached by the House of Commons for high crimes and misdemeanors. The transcript provides a detailed account of the trial, with opening and closing statements from both sides and testimony from witnesses. It offers a valuable resource for understanding the political and religious tensions in England in the early 18th century.
