By Thomas Chalmers

Book Overview

On The Evils Which The Established Church In Edinburgh Has Already Suffered, And Suffers Still, In Virtue Of The Seat Letting is a book written by Thomas Chalmers in 1835. The book discusses the problems that the established church in Edinburgh faced due to the practice of seat letting. Seat letting was a system where people had to pay for seats in the church, and this led to a class divide and discrimination. Chalmers argues that this system was against the principles of Christianity and led to a decline in the church's moral and spiritual authority. He also discusses the financial implications of this system and how it affected the church's ability to carry out its duties. The book provides a historical account of the practice of seat letting and its impact on the established church in Edinburgh. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity in Scotland and the impact of social practices on religious institutions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
