Books in the Primary Sources in Political Thought S. series

This volume collects addresses and pamphlets that capture John Wesley's view on a variety of political subjects including the nature of political power, his response to Richard Price's "Observations on Liberty", his views on slavery, and his thoughts on poverty.

The five pieces reprinted here are part of the polemical literature in the last four decades of the 19th century. They illustrate a creed whose adherents were acutely aware of its recent achievements and further potential in shaping British society and politics.
