Book Overview

Observations On The Appeal From The New To The Old Whigs, And On Mr. Paine�������s Rights Of Man is a book written by Brooke Boothby in 1792. In this book, Boothby provides his thoughts and opinions on two important political works of the time - Thomas Paine's Rights of Man and Edmund Burke's Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs. Boothby was a British philosopher and poet who was known for his radical political views. In this book, he argues against Burke's defense of the British monarchy and supports Paine's call for a more democratic government. He also criticizes Burke's belief in the importance of tradition and history, arguing that society should be guided by reason and logic rather than blind adherence to the past. Overall, Observations On The Appeal From The New To The Old Whigs, And On Mr. Paine�������s Rights Of Man is an important work of political philosophy from the late 18th century. It provides insight into the debates and discussions of the time, and offers a unique perspective on the issues of democracy, tradition, and government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
