This volume presents 'A Letter To ... Thomas Turton ... On The Admission Of Dissenters To Academical Degrees,' a response by Connop Thirlwall to Thomas Turton’s earlier work, 'Thoughts On The Admission Of Persons, Without Regard To Their Religious Opinions, To Certain Degrees In The Universities Of England.' Thirlwall, then Bishop of St. David’s, engages directly with Turton, later Bishop of Ely, on the contentious issue of allowing religious dissenters to receive academic degrees from English universities. The letter offers a detailed examination of the arguments for and against removing religious restrictions on higher education, reflecting the broader debates about religious freedom and civil rights in 19th-century England. This exchange between two prominent figures in the Church of England provides valuable insight into the historical context of these debates and the complexities of religious and academic life during this period. Scholars of religious history, educational policy, and 19th-century British history will find this a significant primary source.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
