The Discovery of First Principles looks at the history of human settlement on the earth and the socio-political arrangements and institutions evolving over the ages. The author presents the case for the existence of universal moral principles that must serve as the basis of law if law is to be just. The story he tells is fascinating and insightful, drawing on the observations and commentary of many of the most thoughtful actors in this human drama.
Anglicans, Dissenters and Radical Change in Early New England, 1686–1786
This book considers three defining movements driven from London and within the region that describe the experience of the Church of England in New England between 1686 and 1786. It explores the radical imperial political and religious change that occurred in Puritan New England following the late seventeenth-century introduction of a new charter for the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Anglican Church in Boston and the public declaration of several Yale ‘apostates’ at the 1722 college commencement exercises. These events transformed the religious circumstances of New England and fuelled new attention and interest in London for the national church in early America.

The book appeals to students and researchers of English History, British Imperial History, Early American History and Religious History.
