The New Heresy, by David Urquhart, is a compelling exploration of religious and political thought in 19th-century England. In two letters addressed to the Bishop of Oxford, Urquhart critiques what he identifies as the substitution of mere proselytism for genuine righteousness. This work delves into the core of religious integrity and its impact on society.

Urquhart expands his analysis with two additional essays: "Change In A Nation Imperceptible, Being Caused A Change In Each Man," which examines the subtle transformations within a society, and an excerpt concerning pledges given to troops. This combination of religious critique and political commentary offers a comprehensive view of Urquhart's concerns about the moral and societal trajectory of his time. This book is valuable for those interested in religious history, political philosophy, and the social dynamics of Victorian England.
