Foundational work of American Independence.- Sidney

Item Details

Description

Foundational work of American Independence.- Sidney (Algernon) Discourses Concerning Government, first edition, possibly washed leaving cockling effect to sheets, some light toning, mark to title, sig. B with 1-3 only (as often) but catchwords and pagination correct bookplate to pastedown, contemporary panelled calf, neatly and sympathetically rebacked, retaining original spine label, later endpapers, [Wing S3761], folio, printed, and are to be sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, 1698.

⁂ Sidney's most important work and the one the cost him his life. An attack on the divine right of kings, Discourses Concerning Government argued that individuals should have the right to choose their own form of government. Along with Locke's Two Treatises on Government, the present work was studied by Thomas Jefferson in particular and is regarded as a critical text in the founding of the United States of America.

Provenance: Coker Court (bookplate).
