Set in 1817, this work critiques the Parliamentary recognition of a particular ceremony, arguing for its redundancy based on the practices of both houses. It suggests that more effective means exist to achieve the same beneficial purposes without the ceremony. The author highlights the moral and religious disregard perpetuated by this tradition, focusing particularly on its impact within the Church of England's universities, especially Oxford. The text is presented as a standalone piece, separate from a broader discussion on the rationale of evidence.
