By Ralph Barnes

Book Overview

""Remarks On The Tithe Commutation Act: Addressed To The Clergy Of The Diocese Of Exeter, And Inscribed, By Permission, To The Lord Bishop Of Exeter"" is a book written by Ralph Barnes in 1836. The book is a critique of the Tithe Commutation Act, which was passed in 1836 in England, and aimed to reform the system of tithes, which were taxes paid to the Church of England by farmers and landowners. Barnes, who was a clergyman himself, addresses his remarks to the clergy of the Diocese of Exeter, and argues that the Tithe Commutation Act is flawed and unjust. He argues that the Act does not adequately compensate the Church for the loss of income from tithes, and that it unfairly burdens the clergy with the responsibility of collecting the new payments. The book is inscribed to the Lord Bishop of Exeter, who was the head of the Church in the Diocese of Exeter at the time. Overall, ""Remarks On The Tithe Commutation Act"" is a significant historical document that sheds light on the debates and controversies surrounding the reform of the Church of England in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
