ABSTRACT
This chapter presents the lecture by John Thelwall on 'A Further Enquiry into the Calamities Produced by the System of Usurpation and Corruption', which relates to the grievances produced by erroneous systems of government. In the lecture, Thelwall voices his opinion that the heart-felt conviction of truth inspires an enthusiasm in the human character which is perfectly unconquerable; for when a man loves his principles better than his life, he will rush forward, though thousands of deaths and torments thwart his course. He even suggests that the people who are most likely to behave in such an unruly manner are those disconnected from political associations.
