A Letter Addressed To The King: On Resigning His Commission As A Captain In The Royal Navy On The Ground Of The Unlawfulness Of War is a book written by Thomas Thrush and published in 1825. The book is a letter addressed to the King of England, in which Thrush explains why he has decided to resign his commission as a captain in the Royal Navy. The reason for his resignation is his belief that war is unlawful and immoral. In the letter, Thrush argues that war is a violation of the fundamental principles of Christianity and that it is incompatible with the teachings of Jesus Christ. He also argues that war is a form of violence that leads to the destruction of human life and property, and that it is ultimately futile and counterproductive. Thrush's letter is a powerful and eloquent critique of war and militarism, and it is a testament to his courage and conviction in standing up for his beliefs. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates and controversies surrounding war and peace in the early 19th century. It is also a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of pacifism and nonviolence.Also Contains Conversations On Religious Topics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
