A Treatise on Government: Translated From the Greek Classic Reprint

Aristotle Translated by William EllisBiblio.com

A Treatise on Government. Translated From The Greek of Aristotle.

1776149288London: Printed for T. Payne at the Mew Gate; B. White in Fleet-street; and T. Cadell in the Strand 1776. First edition in English of Aristotle's' enormously influential work on government the only edition in the English language published during the 18th century. Quarto bound in full contemporary calf with elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands morocco spine label lettered in gilt gilt turn-ins. In good condition. A scarce and important work a copy of which was owned by Thomas Jefferson and influenced the drafting of the American Declaration of Independence. An important text in both the history of philosophy and in sparking the development of western political democracy. Ellis' translation was the first direct into English from the original Greek of Aristotle's "Politics." Loys Le Roy translated this work into French which was subsequently translated into English in 1597. Ellis' translation is considered more accurate and for many the most important translation in bringing Aristotle's treatise to enlightenment statesmen and philosophers. The bibliographer Lowdnes notes that Ellis' work appeared in this quarto edition 1776 priced at 15 shillings and was reprinted with little change in 1778. Lowndes praises Ellis' edition as "A faithful and perspicuous version." Aristotle's On Government via this English translation became a landmark text in the history of Western political thought a text which influenced late 18th and 19th century political thought in the English speaking world. Dr. B. E. Bryant notes that Thomas Jefferson owned a copy of the Ellis translation which influenced his drafting of the American Declaration of Independence: "Like most other well-educated individuals of his day Jefferson was thoroughly exposed to classical philosophy. We know for certain he owned a copy of the William Ellis 1776 translation of Aristotle's Politics and even cited Aristotle as one of the sources he used for the Declaration of Independence." Aristotle's "On Government" constitutes the first treatise of the conditions under which philosophy is possible within politics and thus the work that as much as any other founded political philosophy. The influence that this work has had on later political thinking is difficult to exaggerate and the fact that the work became available in a translation into English directly from the original Greek has been of the utmost importance to the development of political thought in England and America. Ellis' Aristotle is the only 18th century translation a an accurate and smoothly readable version that is still in print after more than 200 years. Printed for T. Payne, at the Mew Gate; B. White, in Fleet-street; and T. Cadell, in the Strand unknown

First edition of the first English translation directly from the Greek of Aristotle's important work on politics and government. "The father of modern democracy" PMM 38. An exemplary copy. This influential work elucidates the political principles of Aristotle the father of political science and lays out his recommendations for the structure of government. Aristotle's timeless insights on governance law and the role of citizens in society are brought to life in this English translation by Ellis which lay on the shelves of Jefferson's own library. Jefferson later counseled that the Declaration of Independence's authority rested on the "harmonising sentiments" of the day including the works of Aristotle Cicero Locke and Sidney. As Ayn Rand noted in various writings on Aristotle Aristotle s philosophy was the intellect s Declaration of Independence FNI 22. In Rand s review of JH Randall s Aristotle she wrote Throughout history the influence of Aristotle s philosophy particularly of his epistemology has led in the direction of individual freedom of man s liberation from the power of the state…Aristotle via John Locke was the philosophical father of the Constitution of the United States and thus of capitalism The Objectivist Newsletter May 1963. Like America's Declaration this English translation of Aristotle's Treatise on Government loomed in 1776. The meticulous translation by William Ellis captures the essence of Aristotle's teachings offering a comprehensive and accessible exploration of the Master s thoughts on the workings of government and civic life. Scholars agree that the Ellis translation was one of the sources Jefferson consulted as he drafted of the Declaration of Independence. Two small ex libris stamps appear in the text one on the verso of the Title and another on P. 99. Pages are toned in the margins where occasional penciled notations appear not interfering with text. A beautiful copy handsomely bound. Book #Bv2430. $15000. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand and other legends and landmarks.</p> William Ellis hardcover
