Civil And Religious Liberty is a book written by W. D. Hughes in 1890. The book explores the concept of freedom and its importance in both civil and religious contexts. Hughes argues that civil and religious liberties are intertwined and that the preservation of one is necessary for the preservation of the other. The book begins with a discussion of the historical development of civil and religious liberty, from the Magna Carta to the American Revolution. Hughes then delves into the philosophical underpinnings of freedom, exploring the ideas of John Locke, Montesquieu, and other Enlightenment thinkers. Hughes also examines the relationship between the state and religion, arguing that the separation of church and state is crucial for the protection of religious freedom. He discusses the role of religion in public life and the importance of tolerance and respect for diverse beliefs. Throughout the book, Hughes emphasizes the importance of individual liberty and the need for citizens to actively defend their rights. He argues that freedom is not a given, but a constant struggle that requires vigilance and dedication. Overall, Civil And Religious Liberty is a thought-provoking exploration of the meaning and significance of freedom in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of civil and religious liberties, as well as those concerned with the ongoing struggle for individual rights and freedoms.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
