On Government By The Queen, And Attempted Government From The People (1842)

On Government By The Queen, And Attempted Government From The People is a political treatise written by Henry Drummond in 1842. The book explores the concept of government and the relationship between the monarchy and the people in Britain. Drummond argues that the monarchy is the most effective form of government and that attempts to establish a government by the people have failed. He examines the history of the British monarchy and the benefits it has brought to the country, including stability, continuity, and the protection of individual rights. Drummond also discusses the dangers of democracy and the potential for mob rule. The book was written during a time of political upheaval in Britain, with the Chartists calling for greater democracy and reform. Drummond's work was controversial, with some criticizing his defense of the monarchy and his rejection of popular sovereignty. However, the book remains an important contribution to the debate over the role of government in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
