Présentation de l'éditeur
Professor Arber svaluable English Garner to interfere in any way with his labours, beyond classifying the pieces contained in the collection in such a manner as to illustrate more fully the various topics on which they throw so much light. I have therefore contented myself with contributing to this volume an explanatory I ntroduction, leaving the text and the brief notes of the original edition as I found them. The only exception is the addition of the interesting Preface to the Eighth Volume of Defoe s Review, which completes the series, and has never before been reprinted. G. A. A.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of political tracts, essays, and pamphlets written by prominent late Stuart thinkers. It offers a glimpse into the ways in which political power was debated, defended, and critiqued in the decades following the restoration of the monarchy in 1660. The ideas and arguments presented in these texts provide insight into the development of political thought during a period of profound social, economic, and political upheaval in England. The authors in this volume sought to define the proper relationship between the individual and the state, the role of religion in public life, and the best means of achieving social justice and economic prosperity. These reflections on the nature of governance and the proper relationship between the individual and the state remain highly relevant today.
