| Summary |
"The Impeachment of the House of Brunswick" by Charles Bradlaugh is a political pamphlet written during the late 19th century. The work focuses on a critical analysis of the British royal family, specifically the House of Brunswick, arguing for their removal from the throne due to incompetence and adverse policies against the British people. Through a series of lectures and publicly delivered evidence, Bradlaugh outlines his indictment against the monarchy, emphasizing the legal rights of the populace to reconsider the royal succession. The opening of the pamphlet presents a preface where Bradlaugh expresses gratitude for the support he has received in the United States and outlines his intent to bring this debate to a broader audience. He clarifies that the text is not a call for a republican government but a serious critique of the capacity and actions of the current royal line. With references to historical statutes and the actions of various monarchs from George I to III, he sets the stage for an extensive disquisition on the implications of the royal family's rule, touching on corruption, national debt, and governance concerns that he wishes to address in subsequent chapters.
