A Cure For Canting (1794)

By William Woolley

Book Overview

""A Cure For Canting"" is a book written by William Woolley and published in 1794. The book is a satirical work that aims to expose and criticize the hypocrisy and insincerity of those who use religious language and phrases without truly understanding their meanings or living up to their ideals. Woolley argues that this kind of ""canting"" is not only dishonest but also harmful, as it can lead to a lack of moral and ethical values in society. The book is divided into several chapters, each addressing a different aspect of canting, such as its origins, its use in politics and social life, and its effects on education and the arts. Woolley uses humor and irony to make his points, and he also includes examples of canting from literature and everyday life to illustrate his arguments. Overall, ""A Cure For Canting"" is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that challenges readers to question their own use of language and to strive for greater sincerity and authenticity in their beliefs and actions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
