In "Letters to the Honourable Mr. Justice Blackstone," Philip Furneaux critically examines Sir William Blackstone's interpretation of the Act of Toleration and his perspectives on religious liberty as presented in "Commentaries on the Laws of England." Published in 1769, this work offers a detailed contemporary critique of Blackstone's influential legal commentary, challenging his views on the extent and limits of religious freedom.
Furneaux's letters provide valuable insight into the debates surrounding religious toleration in 18th-century England, shedding light on the legal and philosophical arguments of the period. This volume is essential reading for scholars interested in legal history, religious liberty, and the intellectual exchange between prominent thinkers of the time.
