Kings, The Devil�������s Viceroys And Representatives On Earth is a book written by George Merryweather in 1838. The book explores the concept of kingship and monarchy, examining the role of monarchs as representatives of the divine on earth. Merryweather argues that kings are not only earthly rulers, but also spiritual leaders who are chosen by God to govern and protect their people.The book begins with a discussion of the origins of kingship, tracing the history of monarchy from ancient times to the present day. Merryweather examines the various theories of divine right, exploring the idea that kings are chosen by God to rule over their subjects. He also discusses the role of kings in religion, examining the ways in which monarchs have used their power to promote and protect their faith.Throughout the book, Merryweather contrasts the ideal of the virtuous king with the reality of corrupt and tyrannical rulers. He argues that while some kings have been true representatives of God on earth, others have used their power for personal gain, leading to oppression and suffering for their subjects.Overall, Kings, The Devil�������s Viceroys And Representatives On Earth is a thought-provoking exploration of the concept of kingship and the role of monarchs in society. Merryweather's insights into the nature of power and authority are still relevant today, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of monarchy and the relationship between rulers and their subjects.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
