Book Overview

The Wrongs of Man Exemplified: Or An Enquiry into the Origin, the Cause, and the Effect, of Superstition, Conquest, and Exaction is a book written by William Manning in 1838. The book is an investigation into the origins, causes, and effects of three key issues that have plagued humanity throughout history: superstition, conquest, and exaction.Manning argues that these three issues are interconnected and have contributed to the suffering and oppression of people throughout history. He explores the ways in which superstition has been used to control and manipulate people, how conquest has led to the subjugation and exploitation of entire populations, and how exaction has been used to extract resources and wealth from the poor and vulnerable.The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on one of the three issues. In each section, Manning provides a historical overview of the issue and explores its impact on society and individuals. He also offers his own analysis and critique of the issue, arguing that these problems are not inherent to human nature but rather the result of specific historical and social conditions.Overall, The Wrongs of Man Exemplified is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of some of the key issues that have shaped human history. It offers a critical perspective on the ways in which power has been wielded and abused throughout history, and highlights the importance of understanding the past in order to create a better future.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
