From A Discourse on the Love of Our Country has a very interesting upbeat disposition. It is obvious that Richard Price is particularly pleased with the way things turned out after the French Revolution. He states, “The bounds of free enquiry were enlarged the volume in which are the words of eternal life, was laid more open to our examination; and that aera of light and liberty was introduced among us, by which we have been made an example in other kingdoms, and become the instructors of the world.” Which makes for a very persuasive argument as in they are all great results of the Revolution. Price was thrilled to have lived during that time and witness all the changes that took place. “I have lived to see the rights of men better understood than ever; the nations panting for liberty, which seemed to have been lost the idea of it.” Although he believes that the Revolution was a great success, he also points out the fact that in the end it was not perfect. His excerpt is convincing that the French Revolution was a remarkable happening that needed to take place.
