The Voluntary System (1837) - Samuel Roffey Maitland - Bog

The Voluntary System is a book written by Samuel Roffey Maitland in 1837. The book discusses the idea of a voluntary system of religious establishment, where the Church is not supported by the state, but by the voluntary contributions of its members. Maitland argues that this system would lead to greater religious freedom and diversity, as individuals would have the freedom to choose which church to support and attend. He also suggests that it would lead to a more sincere and genuine expression of religious faith, as individuals would be motivated by their own beliefs rather than by the state. The book is considered to be an important work in the history of religious freedom and establishment in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
