Book Overview
""A Plea For The Abolition Of Tests In The University Of Oxford"" is a book written by Goldwin Smith in 1864. The book is a call to abolish religious tests required for admission to the University of Oxford. Smith argues that these tests are discriminatory and prevent qualified individuals from attending the university based on their religious beliefs. He also argues that the tests are outdated and no longer serve a useful purpose in modern society. Smith provides historical context and examples of individuals who have been excluded from the university because of these tests. He also offers suggestions for alternative methods of admission that would not discriminate based on religion. The book is considered a significant work in the history of higher education and religious freedom in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
