Book Overview

""An Essay Upon The Execution Of The Laws Against Immorality And Profaneness"" is a book written by John Disney in 1708. The book is a critical analysis of the laws against immorality and profaneness in England and how they are executed. Disney argues that the laws are not being enforced effectively and that this is leading to a decline in morality and an increase in vice. He discusses the various forms of immorality and profaneness that are prevalent in society, including drunkenness, gambling, blasphemy, and prostitution. Disney also provides suggestions for improving the enforcement of these laws, such as increasing the severity of punishments and providing more resources to law enforcement. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes towards morality and law enforcement in 18th-century England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
