An Answer to a Question that Nobody thinks of, viz., But what if the Queen should Die?

The pamphlet analyzes public anxiety about the Protestant succession and the possibility of restoring the pretender, arguing that while the ministry lacks interest or motive to support such a restoration, many of their supporters or instruments harbor opposing aims. The author narrows the debate to a central question of real danger to the succession, evaluates claims on both sides, and urges sober inquiry rather than partisan invective. It weighs political motives, critiques agitators on either side, and recommends clarifying the specific sources of risk so that measures can be taken to secure public peace and the lawful succession.
