A remarkable and crucial historical account of the raging debates within the English parliament surrounding the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, also known as the Bloodless Revolution, which witnessed the deposition of James II (also, James VII of Scotland) from the English Throne in favour of his daughter Mary II and her husband, William III of Orange. The present volume deals chiefly with Parliament's resolution relating to whether James had forfeited, or abdicated the throne by virtue of his having discarded the 'Great Seal of the Realm' into the River Thames prior to fleeing for France, his subsequent capture at Kent, and later exile under the protection of Louis XIV of France. Ultimately, Parliament declared that: 'King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom, by breaking the original contract between king and people, and, by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons, having violated the fundamental laws, and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom, has abdicated the government, and that the throne is thereby vacant'.".…

A remarkable and crucial historical account of the raging debates within the English parliament surrounding the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, also known as the Bloodless Revolution [An Réabhlóid Ghlórmhar (Irish): Rèabhlaid Ghlòrmhor (Scottish Gaelic); Chwyldro Gogoneddus (Welsh); Glorieuze Overtocht (Dutch)], which witnessed the deposition of James II (also, James VII of Scotland) from the English Throne in favour of his daughter Mary II and her husband, "stadtholder and de facto ruler of the Dutch Republic", William III of Orange. The Revolution would see the passage of the landmark Bill of Rights of 1689, ensured the exclusion of Catholics from the English throne, severely curtailed the monarch's power, and witnessed the effective establishment of a constitutional monarchy, thereby, ensuring the supremacy of Parliament. It further led to the Act of Toleration of 1689, granting toleration to "Nonconformist Protestants" (but excluding Catholics whose emancipation would be delayed for a further 140 years). The present volume deals chiefly with Parliament's resolution relating to whether James had forfeited, or, abdicated the throne by virtue of his having discarded the "Great Seal of the Realm" into the River Thames prior to fleeing for France, his subsequent capture at Kent, and later exile under the protection of Louis XIV of France. Ultimately, Parliament declared that: "King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom, by breaking the original contract between king and people, and, by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons, having violated the fundamental laws, and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom, has abdicated the government, and that the throne is thereby vacant.".…

It includes a lengthy exchange of opinions regarding the politics and government of England, and the questions that surrounded the various theories of succession. Steele carried on a celebrated political controversy with Jonathan Swift, the chief Tory spokesman, in 1713, during the course of which he wrote his pamphlet "The Crisis". He presumably had this work, which was first published in 1695 and again in 1710, republished in 1714 in order to support his own opinions.…
