A Letter to Earl Grey, on the Obligation of the Coronation Oath (1833)

Arthur Philip Perceval

""A Letter to Earl Grey, on the Obligation of the Coronation Oath"" is a political treatise written by Arthur Philip Perceval in 1833. The book is addressed to Charles Grey, 2nd Earl Grey, who was the British Prime Minister at the time. In the book, Perceval argues that the coronation oath taken by the monarch is a sacred and binding commitment to uphold the laws and traditions of the country. He argues that any attempt to violate this oath, particularly by introducing reforms that undermine the established order, is a betrayal of the monarch's duty and a threat to the stability of the nation. Perceval's argument draws heavily on the principles of constitutional monarchy and the importance of maintaining the balance of power between the monarch, the government, and the people. The book is a significant contribution to the political debates of the time and remains relevant to discussions about the role of the monarchy in modern democracies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
