""A Remonstrance: Addressed To The Right Honorable Lord Brougham On The Injustice And Impolicy Of The Proposed Bill For The Abolition Of Imprisonment For Debt"" is a book written by J. H. Elliott in 1838. The book argues against the proposed bill that aimed to abolish imprisonment for debt. The author argues that the abolition of imprisonment for debt would be unjust and impolitic. The book presents a detailed analysis of the proposed bill and its potential impact on society. The author also presents alternative solutions for dealing with the issue of debt, such as the establishment of debtors' courts. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of debt and the evolution of debt laws.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
