An Essay On The Tithe System; Shewing Its Foundation In The Laws Of The Land, Its Advantages And Disadvantages. This work surveys the tithe system in England, tracing its historic foundation in law, its alleged advantages for national religion, and the potential disadvantages of reform. It defends the establishment as essential to religious and social order, arguing that tithes are an inherited ecclesiastical property with a secure, enduring basis tied to the land and the nation’s legal framework. The essay discusses the legal nature of tithe revenue, advocates the maintenance of an established church, and weighs objections to tithes, including concerns about agricultural progress and pastoral harmony. It then examines possible substitutes for tithes—commutation in land, corn-rents, or monetary stipends—outlining significant practical obstacles and arguing for cautious, locally negotiated arrangements rather than sweeping changes. The work frequently invokes authorities such as Burke and Hooker to illustrate the interplay of religion, state, and property in a stable commonwealth.
