The Secession From Parliament Vindicated (1799)

The Secession From Parliament Vindicated is a book written by Christopher Wyvill in 1799. The book is a defense of the secession of a group of Whig MPs from Parliament in 1797, led by Charles James Fox and supported by Wyvill. The secession was in protest against the government's handling of the war with France and the suspension of civil liberties. In the book, Wyvill argues that the secession was a necessary and justified action, and that the government's response to it was disproportionate and unjust. He also discusses the wider political context of the time, including the role of the monarchy and the need for parliamentary reform.The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the political struggles of the late 18th century and the tensions between the government and opposition. It is also a valuable resource for those interested in the history of parliamentary democracy and the development of political thought in Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
