About This Book

A polemical letter warns against renewed support for Jacobite and Catholic claims, arguing that recent wars and sacrifices secured Protestant religion and constitutional liberty and must not be undone. The writer recounts national struggles against foreign and domestic threats, criticizes growing public indifference toward papist influence and the Pretender, and questions the wisdom of reversing legal and political safeguards. The pamphlet urges vigilance, public unity, and the continued enforcement of settlements and statutes designed to prevent the restoration of arbitrary or popish power.
