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 his decision to resign from the Royal Navy due to his beliefs about the unlawfulness of war. Thrush, who had served in the Navy for several years, argues that war is not only morally wrong but also contrary to the teachings of Christianity. He expresses his belief that war causes unnecessary suffering and death, and that it is often driven by greed and ambition rather than a desire for justice or peace.The book provides a detailed account of Thrush’s experiences in the Navy and his journey towards his decision to resign. He also offers suggestions for how society can move towards a more peaceful and just world, including the establishment of international arbitration and the promotion of education and moral values.Overall, 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 thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to consider the ethics of war and the role of individuals in promoting peace.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.
