Synopsis
Right In The Abstract: One Of The Course Of Friends' Lyceum Lectures Delivered In The Lecture Room Of Friends' Meeting House On 20Th Street, New York, First Month 20Th, 1862 — William J. Allinson. This work compiles a lecture delivered to a Friends Lyceum that defends abstract right as the rational foundation of political and moral action, especially in the Civil War era. The author argues against expediency and compromise that watered down fundamental rights, tracing the roots of national conflict to historic concessions including the Missouri Compromise, the Florida exiles program, and later events. He insists that Christian duty requires adherence to universal principles, not to political convenience, and that true policy must align with divine will as expressed in morality and the commandment Thou shalt not kill. Through biblical allusions and historical anecdotes, including examples of individuals who refused to bear arms for conscience, the author urges Quakers and other peace-minded Christians to uphold peace principles while remaining compassionate toward enemies. The aim is to promote a durable peace founded on right thinking, moral clarity, and reform, rather than on punitive force.
