Zustand: Very Good. 1st edition. Diced calf, VG. 172+[iv]+94pp, marbled endpapers, gilt dentelles, all edges gilt, leather a little rubbed & upper hinge cracked but holding, Ex Libris Caroli Waldstein with their armorial bookplate, neat late 19th century annotation to the first blank, pages of the second title a little browned, a nice copy. Two political tracts, published in France in the early days of the Republic, which look back to the English protectorate & the lessons to be learnt. The first is a translation of 'Killing Noe Murder' [1658] a pamphlet which advocates the assassination of Oliver Cromwell. Authorship has been attributed to either Edward Sexby or Silius Titus. Cromwell is considered a tyrant, equal to Caligula and Nero - the people must rise up & rid them selves of such a despot, and tyrannicide can not be regarded as an act of murder. The second work, published in 1797 is based upon the 'The Syracusan Tyrant, or the Life of Agathocles' by Richard Perrinchief, originally published in 1661, an attack on Oliver Cromwell presented as a biography of Agathocles. Both works probably relating to Thermidor & the the overthrow of revolutionary radical Maximilien Robespierre & a retreat from more radical goals and strategies during a revolution. 200 grams.…

Small 4to. 2 ff., 7-42 pp. Modern marbled boards. RARE! Attributed also to Silas Titus, who may have assisted in its composition. cf. Dict. nat. biog., v. 56, p. 420-422; Firth, C.H. "Killing no murder." (In Eng. hist. rev., v. 17, 1902, p. 308-311). Originally published in Holland in 1657. "A few months after the arrest of Sindercombe [January 1657], an apology for tyrannicide, entitled Killing No Murderâ"which was dedicated to Cromwellâ"arrived in England from Holland. It was published by Sexby, probably with the assistance of Silius Titus, under the name of a former Army agitator called William Allen." Colonel Edward Sexby or Saxby was an English Puritan soldier and Leveller in the army of Oliver Cromwell.…

First edition in French of the pro-tyrannicide Killing no Murder, first published in English the previous year to advocate the assassination of Oliver Cromwell, and here published to encourage the assassination of Cardinal Mazarin. Drawing on classical writers including Aristotle, Plato, and Xenophon, and modern writers including Hugo Grotius, the authors provide a basis for tyrannicide as a lawful act, and sets out to prove that Cromwell "was a tyrant on a par with Caligula and Nero. However stable, his reign was an abrogation of law which constituted the enslavement of the English people and threatened the outright corruption of English society. In such circumstances the private citizen was perfectly within his rights in seeking to exact the punishment for which responsibility ought normally to rest with God and the magistrate. Tyranny being the suspension of the normal course of law, tyrannicide could not be regarded as an act of murder" (ODNB, William Sexby). The pamphlet was published pseudonymously under "William Allen", and the author has never been satisfactorily identified. The two most likely claimants are Colonel Silius Titus and Edward Sexby, both of whom claimed authorship; most probably they collaborated. This French translation was produced by Jacques Carpentier de Marigny (1615-1670), a great enemy of Cardinal Mazarin, who was then the de facto ruler of France. Marigny had been involved in The Fronde uprising against Mazarin, and was horrified at the alliance between Mazarin and Cromwell. Marigny apparently hoped that the pamphlet's support of tyrannicide would inspire the killing of Mazarin. Marigny was linked to the exiled Stuart king Charles II, who made him a Knight Baronet of England in 1658, apparently in reward for the translation (Lutaud p. 82) - if so an extraordinary instance of a monarch promoting the assassination of a ruler. The tract had an extraordinarily long life. Editions in English appeared again during the Glorious Revolution and the Jacobite uprising of the 1740s. Further editions in French were published at the time of the French Revolution and Napoleonic period, justifying the execution of Louis XVI and aimed against Napoleon. These are ironic reincarnations given the authors' views, but the arguments of the tract could readily be applied to any monarch, even those the authors would have found legitimate. French editions were published in 1793, 1800, 1804, and 1856. This copy is the true first edition of 1658, a duodecimo in 94 pages; the 1793 edition fictitiously uses the same imprint and date, but is readily distinguishable as a sextodecimo in 172 pages. Barbier II, 7132; Brunet I, p. 189-190; Graesse VI, p. 187; Quérard I, p. 37. Olivier Lutaud, Des révolutions d'Angleterre à la Révolution française: Le tyrannicide et 'Killing No Murder', 1973, especially chapter 4, "La traduction française de 1658". Duodecimo (118 x 78 mm). Contemporary red morocco, spine gilt in compartments and lettered "A9", panelled in gilt, plain white endpapers with front pastedown lifting revealing the use of a leaf from Commentationes ac vigiliae in Pandectar, 1544, as binding material. Spine darkened, cover edges with indentation of old ties; a very fresh, clean copy.…

A Jacobite reincarnation, after the Glorious Revolution, of this extraordinary and widely circulated 17th-century defence of tyrannicide, originally on first publication in 1657 an appeal for the assassination of Oliver Cromwell, this one of three clandestine editions which appeared following the deposition of James III and ascent of William and Mary, aimed at the new monarchs. Drawing on classical writers including Aristotle, Plato, and Xenophon, and modern writers including Hugo Grotius, the author provides a basis for tyrannicide as a lawful act, and sets out to prove that Cromwell "was a tyrant on a par with Caligula and Nero. However stable, his reign was an abrogation of law which constituted the enslavement of the English people and threatened the outright corruption of English society. In such circumstances the private citizen was perfectly within his rights in seeking to exact the punishment for which responsibility ought normally to rest with God and the magistrate. Tyranny being the suspension of the normal course of law, tyrannicide could not be regarded as an act of murder" (ODNB, William Sexby). The pamphlet was published pseudonymously under "William Allen", and the author has never been satisfactorily identified. The two most likely claimants are Colonel Silius Titus and Edward Sexby, both of whom claimed authorship; most probably they collaborated. Three editions were published in 1689, undoubtedly Jacobite. Parallels between William III and Cromwell were widely drawn; James II had himself drawn the link in his final attempt at reconciliation with the Anglican bishops. Killing No Murder was always recognized in the 17th century as an explicitly pro-Stuart tract, and its publication in 1689 would leave no doubt among its readers who was seen as the illegitimate tyrant. The 1689 republications aimed "to reproduce the past: to identify with a Cromwell, usurper of the Stuarts, another usurper of the Stuarts: and to draw from it the same consequence" (Lutaud, translated, p. 182). These editions were forerunners of further editions which would appear, for the same purpose, around the Jacobite uprising of the 1740s. The tract had an extraordinarily long life - editions were published around the French Revolution against the Bourbons (much removed from the tract's original intent), and apparently surfaced in pre-revolutionary Russia. With the bookplate of Gerald E. Aylmer (1926-2000), a leading historian of 17th-century England, professor of history at the University of York from 1963 until 1978, afterwards master of St Peter's College in Oxford until 1991. ESTC R214304; Goldsmiths' 2785; Wing T1311B. Olivier Lutaud, Des révolutions d'Angleterre à la Révolution française: Le tyrannicide et 'Killing No Murder', 1973. Octavo (187 x 113 mm). Recent half calf, red label, marbled sides. Leaves in first signature bound in variant sequence to ESTC (life of Titus after dedication to Cromwell). Light browning, more pronounced to title. A very good copy.…
