To Which Is Added, An Account Of The Author's Life And A Copious Index." Written as an answer to Sir Robert Filmer's 'Patriarcha' this is one of the earliest modern statements of republican ideals. Sidney proposes a doctrine of natural justice and governmental order from which all institutions vary at their peril. He asserted that a king's authority is granted by parliament, which has the additional power to depose him - a very controversial idea during the Restoration period. Many of the founders were influenced by the text. Thomas Jefferson described it as ".probably the best elementary book of the principles of government, as founded in natural right which has ever been published in any language; and it is much to be desired in such a government as ours that it should be put into the hands of our youth as soon as their minds are sufficiently matured for that branch of study."

3 volumes in-12 (159 x 93 mm), plein veau fauve glacé de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs guillochés or, ornés de compartiments richement garnis d'un décor d'encadrement, fleurons centraux, filets et palettes dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin, roulette sur les coupes, tranches rouges, (30), 451 p.; (8), 447 p. et (8), 438 p., portrait frontispice gravé par P. Bouttats, titres rouge et noir. Première édition de la traduction française. Produite dans les milieux du refuge huguenot, cette traduction assura la diffusion européenne et le succès de ce livre. Très lu, réédité à plusieurs reprises, ce "catéchisme des républicains", constitua une source fondamentale de la pensée des Lumières comme des révolutionnaires de 1789. Algernon Sidney y étudie avec précision les mécanismes du pouvoir personnel, expose ses vues sur la nécessaire liberté politique des Nations et argumente autour de la primauté d’un parlement représentatif sur l’exécutif. Impliqué dans un complot contre Charles II d’Angleterre, l’auteur a été décapité pour trahison en 1683 et son ouvrage ne fut publié en anglais qu'à titre posthume en 1698. "L'une des plus puissantes théories républicaines des débuts de l'époque moderne" (C. Hamel). Cf. P. Carrive, ‘La pensée politique d’A. Sidney’, Paris, 1989. (Brunet, V, 373). Petits défauts aux coiffes et petites fentes aux mors. Ex-libris gravé ancien: "La Houssaye". Bel exemplaire, très frais, très bien relié à l’époque.

pp. v, 154. 16mo. 165 mm. Unusual contemporary full cloth binding. Autograph ownership of Belle Shetter. Very good. "Ninth edition." Henry Augustus Shute (1856-1943) was a graduate of Phillips Exeter Academy (1875) and Harvard University (1879). He was born and lived in Exeter, New Hampshire, where he worked as a lawyer and a judge of the municipal court. Sometime in the 1890s, He began writing for the Exeter News-Letter. His weekly stories based on recollections from boyhood were popular, however, it was not until the publication of 'The Real Diary of a Real Boy' (1902) that Shute acquired national recognition. He went on to write nineteen other books and published extensively in the Saturday Evening Post (1925-1928). Called the "Mark Twain of New England," Shute's humorous, innocent, and 'jolly' stories continue to provide valuable insight into the customs of his time and place. Tasha Tudor later (1968) illustrated this charming New England Tale. HUMOR 8

Original Wraps. 8vo. [6], 37, [1] pages. 20 cm. First edition. Full title: The Protestant resolution of faith: being an answer to three questions: I. How far we must depend on the authority of the church for the true sense of Scripture? II. Whether a visible succession from Christ to this day makes a church, which has this succession an infallible interpreter of Scripture, and whether no church, which has not this succession, can teach the true sense of Scripture? III. Whether the Church of England can make out such a visible succession? . The protestant resolution of faith (1683) , maintained that since the age of the apostles the church has had no infallible guide but the scriptures. William Sherlock (c. 1641 June 1707) was a Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist. Sherlock was a leader among the brilliant group of London divines including Thomas Tenison, William Clagett, and Simon Patrick who carried on the literary defense of the Church of England against Catholicism from late in the reign of Charles II into that of James II. Sherlock's 'Protestant Resolution of Faith', first published in 1683, was republished in 1685, 1686, and 1687, at the height of the struggle under James. Subjects: Faith - Early works to 1800. Protestantism - Early works to 1800. Apostolic succession - Early works to 1800. Apostolic succession. Faith. Protestantism. Theology, Doctrinal. Church of England - Doctrines - Early works to 1800.
