The book discusses the negative impact of the practice of seat letting on the Established Church in Edinburgh. Seat letting refers to the practice of charging people for seats in church, which was a common practice at the time.Chalmers argues that seat letting is detrimental to the Church as it creates a class system within the congregation, with wealthy people occupying the best seats and the poor being relegated to the back. He also argues that the practice is contrary to the principles of Christianity, which advocate for equality and the elimination of social distinctions.The book provides a historical account of the origins of seat letting in the Church, tracing it back to the 17th century. Chalmers also discusses the efforts made by the Church to abolish the practice, including the introduction of free seating, which was met with resistance from wealthy members of the congregation.Overall, On The Evils Which The Established Church In Edinburgh Has Already Suffered, And Suffers Still, In Virtue Of The Seat Letting is a thought-provoking book that highlights the negative impact of seat letting on the Church and its members.
