Erstausgabe
Leather. Zustand: Good Only. None (illustrator). First edition. Niccolo Machiavelli's political history work Discourses on Livy. This is the first English translation of this work. Translated by Edward Dacres, a prominent translator of Machiavelli's works. Collated, complete. A very scarce copy of this work. Would make a good copy once rebound, rarely seen at all and usually in very poor state. Discourses on Livy is a philosophical political history. It was written in the early 16th century and was first published posthumously in 1531. The work discusses Livy's Ab Urbe Condita which discuss the expansion of Rome through the end of the Third Samnite War. Niccolo Machiavelli was a Florentine Renaissance historian, politician, humanist, philosopher and author. In a contemporary calf binding. Externally, worn. Severe loss to the backstrip and to the boards. Patches of rubbing to what remains of boards. Evidence of some previous repair to the joints and boards. Front joint and hinge are extremely weak and held by one cord only. Highly likely board with detach with further handling. Rear hinge is also weak and held by two cords. May detach with further handling. Internally, binding is tender in place and strained throughout. Pages are slightly age toned. Light tidemarks to the top of the outer margin to pages 135-195 then again to pages 245-288pp and 389-434pp not affecting text. Occasional scattered spots throughout. Overall: GOOD ONLY due to binding. Good Only. book.

Erstausgabe
First edition in English of Machiavelli's Discorsi, first published in Italian in 1531 and offering a far fuller and more sustained treatise of political analysis than the much better known, but far shorter, Il Principe. In 1640 the translator Edward Dacres also published the first English translation of Il Principe."Overall, [Dacres's] translations of Machiavelli are deserving of their classic status, combining precision with an austere vigour of expression, and rising to the challenge of the more rhetorically heightened passages of the originals in a manner that has rarely been bettered" (France, p. 484). Dacres is a shadowy figure of whom little appears to be known, but it seems that he translated and published the works with the aim of advancing Machiavelli's reputation, covering himself here with the "animadversions noting and taxing his errours", which in fact do little to interfere with the work, unlike the later translations of Henry Neville and Ellis Farneworth. Modern scholarship tends to agree that the Discorsi and Il Principe should be read in tandem, the two works complementing rather than contradicting each other. "From a comparative reading, one must come to the startling conclusion that Machiavelli was a convinced republican. He had no liking for despotism, and considered a combination of popular and monarchical government best. No ruler was safe without the favor of his people. The most stable states are those ruled by princes checked by constitutional limitations. His ideal government was the old Roman republic, and he constantly harked back to it in the Discourses" (ibid., p. 27). ESTC S109049; STC 17160 (noting two variants of the title, with no precedence between them: in the present variant, the word "animadversions" is printed in italic; in the other, it is printed in roman). Robert Bingham Downs, Books that Changed the World, 1956; Peter France, ed., The Oxford Guide to Literature in English Translation, 2001. Duodecimo (144 x 80 mm). Contemporary calf, rebacked with new red morocco label. Bound without initial and terminal blanks, leaf B1 cancelled as usual with the correct text printed on preceding a11-12. Extremities restored. Contents lightly browned, a few spill burns and ink splashes (larger splash to p. 551). A very good copy.
