""Remarks On The Petition Of The Convention: And On The Petition Of The Constitutionalists"" is a political pamphlet written by an author using the pseudonym ""Anti-Bureaucrat"" in 1835. The book is a response to two petitions submitted to the British Parliament by two different groups of people. The first petition, submitted by the Convention of the Friends of the People, called for electoral reform and the extension of voting rights. The second petition, submitted by the Constitutionalists, called for the repeal of the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834, which was seen as cruel and oppressive.In the book, ""Anti-Bureaucrat"" argues against both petitions, claiming that they are based on false assumptions and would lead to disastrous consequences if implemented. He argues that the Convention's proposals for electoral reform would lead to anarchy and mob rule, and that the Constitutionalists' demands for the repeal of the Poor Law would lead to the collapse of the welfare system and the impoverishment of the working classes.The book is written in a polemical style, with ""Anti-Bureaucrat"" using sarcasm and ridicule to attack the arguments of the petitioners. He also makes use of historical examples to support his arguments, drawing on the experiences of other countries that had attempted similar reforms in the past.Overall, ""Remarks On The Petition Of The Convention: And On The Petition Of The Constitutionalists"" is a highly critical and conservative response to two important political movements of the time. It provides a valuable insight into the debates and controversies of the early 19th century, and is still of interest to historians and political scientists today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
