Synopsis

""A Letter To The Reverend Mr. Law, Council For The Committee Of Convocation, And The Two Famous Universities"" is a book written in 1719 by an anonymous author who identified themselves as a ""Free Thinker At Oxford."" The book is a critique of the Church of England and its practices, particularly in regards to its relationship with the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The author argues that the Church's influence over the universities has led to a lack of intellectual freedom and a stifling of academic inquiry. The book also addresses issues such as the role of reason in religion and the nature of God. Overall, ""A Letter To The Reverend Mr. Law"" is a work of philosophical and theological criticism that challenges traditional Christian beliefs and calls for greater intellectual independence in academic institutions.In A Cause Depending Between Them And The Bishop Of Bangor.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
