In "Free Thoughts On the Toleration of Popery," Calvinus Minor (pseudonym for Archibald Bruce) delivers a sharp critique relevant to the religious and political landscape of his time. The work engages with the complex issue of religious tolerance, specifically focusing on the perceived dangers of extending such tolerance to Roman Catholicism (referred to as 'Popery'). Bruce's treatise offers valuable insights into the debates and anxieties surrounding religious freedom and the role of the state in managing religious pluralism.

This polemical work invites readers to consider the historical context of religious tensions and the arguments employed both for and against toleration. It serves as a significant primary source for understanding the religious controversies that shaped British society.
