Scarce in commerce. <br/><br/>A remarkable and crucial historical account of the raging debates within the English parliament surrounding the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 also known as the Bloodless Revolution An Réabhlóid Ghlórmhar Irish: Rèabhlaid Ghlòrmhor Scottish Gaelic; Chwyldro Gogoneddus Welsh; Glorieuze Overtocht Dutch which witnessed the deposition of James II also James VII of Scotland from the English Throne in favour of his daughter Mary II and her husband "stadtholder and de facto ruler of the Dutch Republic" William III of Orange. The Revolution would see the passage of the landmark Bill of Rights of 1689 ensured the exclusion of Catholics from the English throne severely curtailed the monarch's power and witnessed the effective establishment of a constitutional monarchy thereby ensuring the supremacy of Parliament. It further led to the Act of Toleration of 1689 granting toleration to "Nonconformist Protestants" but excluding Catholics whose emancipation would be delayed for a further 140 years. The present volume deals chiefly with Parliament's resolution relating to whether James had forfeited or abdicated the throne by virtue of his having discarded the "Great Seal of the Realm" into the River Thames prior to fleeing for France his subsequent capture at Kent and later exile under the protection of Louis XIV of France. Ultimately Parliament declared that: "King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between king and people and by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom has abdicated the government and that the throne is thereby vacant."

The work is one of the most importent anti-Cartesian polemics of the 1690's and it attacs the whole of Descartes system in a satirical way."It aimes principally at the sharp Cartesian distinction between body and soul related in a satirical fashion the voyage of the disembodied souls of the narrator of Mersanne and of another old friend of Descartes in the upper spheres. On their way to visit Descartes in the third heaven they meet the souls of Aristotle and the disciples of descartes clearly refelcting here the philosophical opinions of Gabriel Daniel himself. One of the articles of that treaty stipulates that the Cartesians will refer to Aristotle with more respect whereas the Aristotelians will refrain from calling Descartes "Enthusiast" "Madman" "Heretick" or "Atheist" - all of these evidently labels commonly used by the opponents of Descartes at that time." Michael Heyd in "Be Sober and Reasonable". The work was published anonymous and earlier sometimes attributed to Daniel Defoe. - </em> hardcover

Dibdin cites this imprint as one of the scarcest and most valuable of the octavo Variorum classics. This edition is praised for the elegance of its typography the correctness of the text and the usefulness of the commentary. Pliny the Younger was a soldier and a senator in the latter part of the first century A.C.E. into the second century A.C.E. During his lifetime he wrote and published nine books of literary letters concerned with social domestic judicial and political matters. These letters are rhetorically crafted with their syntax and semantics tooled to create a new literary style new to Rome. His letters provide a history of quotidian matters in Rome with plenty of anonymous criticisms aimed at slave owners political weasels and the miserly. Senatorial debates elections and trials and other matters of public life are revealed in his letters. The final book is composed of letters between him and Trajan. These were likely first published after Pliny's death. These letters function as a historical source for understanding how the Romans governed their provinces. In one letter Pliny describes one of the earliest accounts of Christian worship and describes the prejudiced attitude of pagan people towards what was then the Christian minority in the Roman Empire. An illuminating history of Rome beautifully bound. A Very Good or better copy with a touch of rubbing to the extremities particularly to the bottom corners and the front joint.

In his view"heresy making" was usually the defensive reaction of those in authority rather than a true indictment of unconventional thinkers. He thought that the worst calamity in Church history was its establishment as the accepted and orthodox faith by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the fourth century. Arnold evinced a remarkable sympathy for a huge variety of "heretics." This "impartial history" exercised a wide influence on the German Enlightenment and won approval from such thinkers as Johann Wolfgang Goethe in addition to Leo Tolstoy." </em> hardcover
