An invaluable artifact to anyone researching or connected to the Cox family. Inquire if you need further information.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Hardcover. Bound in full leather. When it was published, this was an elaborate gold-decorated gift edition, but the front cover is only hanging on by a thread now, so it will need a binder's attention. Raised cords and gold lettering on the spine - still very attractive on the shelf. Page edges gilt. Chromolithographed title page and frontispiece illustration, followed by printed title page dated 1852. 669 pages. Text block clean and tight, with sharp square corners. No marks or stains. A nice gift inscription on a blank page at the front, "Miss S.S. Phelps from her friend Mr. J.J. Phelps. Jan 1st, 1853." The inscription is written by John Jay Phelps (1810-1869), who was founder of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad -- among other exploits. The book was a gift from him to (most likely) a niece. The Phelps/Stokes family was a prominent and confusing one in NY society at this time. A small rubberstamped name on the inside front cover from the next generation, "Harold Phelps Stokes" (1887-1970) - was a writer for the NY Times - shows that the book stayed in the family for a long time. The Stokes home in NYC is still standing, and is now part of the Morgan Library, having been sold to JP Morgan in 1904. Please email with questions or to request photos.

Rare first edition of this important work of political philosophy, the inheritor of ideas expressed in De cure ac belli et ac paci of Grotius (first published in English, 1654) and of Hobbes's Leviathan and De cive (both published in English in 1651). The dedication to Oliver Cromwell ("Magno, Magne Britannie Principi &c. Protectori, Patri Patriae, & semper Augusto") is signed "Mich. Hawk", and he is named on the title page as "M.H. Master in Arts, and of the Middle Temple". Little is known of Hawke and it is not clear where he obtained his Master of Arts (apparently not at Oxford or Cambridge), nor does his name appear in the Register of Admissions to the Middle Temple. He published two other works: The Grounds of the Lawes of England (1657), also dedicated to Cromwell, and Killing is Murder, and no Murder (1657), a justification of regicide. In his "massively learned, eclectic and avowedly Hobbesian" treatise (Armitage, p. 195), Hawke was arguing for legitimate despotism, citing "Hobbes in favour of very un-Hobbesian position, in support of Grotius that there is an obligatory law of nature in the state of nature and it should be kept. True natural liberty, argues Hawke, can only be found by living in accordance of the state" (Parkin, p. 144). "Hawke's providentialist imperialism may be one of the strangest progeny of Leviathan, but it was unique only in the Hobbesian means by which it appropriated familiar classical and religious languages. Once used in opposition to the Protector, these languages were now the guarantors of Cromwell's imperial identity" (Armitage, p. 196). The book is uncommon institutionally and rare in commerce - ESTC & Library Hub locates eight copies in the United Kingdom, held by the British Library, Bodleian (two copies, the second lacking leaves C4-5), National Library of Scotland, Manchester Central Library, Merton College (listed three times, though all with the same shelf mark), Society of Antiquaries, with copies listed at the Congregational Library and Dr Williams Library (which share a building) the same copy; copies in North America are held by Yale, Columbia, Michigan, Huntington & Union Theological Seminary. Rare Book Hub and ABPC locate no copies in auction results. Provenance: ink ownership inscriptions in a secretary hand of Thomas Sudell and William Sudell to both terminal free endpapers, both title pages, errata leaf and some drop-head titles, dated 1678-9 and 1682, one with a cost ("praetium 1s"): "William Sudell booke" (first title), "Tho: Sudell Booke 1682" (second title), "TSudell owes [sic] this Booke Anno Dni 1678/9" (errata), "Hic codex est meus testis est Deus / si quis me querit nomen hic erit TSudell Ano. Dni 1678/9" (p. 6), "Tho. Sudell 1678" (p. 117), "Thomas Sudell Booke Anno Dni 1679" and "TSudell Booke 1682" (first terminal endpaper), "Thomas Sudell Booke Anno Dom 1679 / Pretium 1s / Rich. Bilbey" (second terminal endpaper). William and Thomas Sudell were probably members of the merchant family of Preston, Lancashire (see Alumni Cantabrigienses): a Thomas Sudell was admitted pensioner at Trinity College, Cambridge on 2 May 1656 and a William Sudell, son of Nicholas, draper of Preston, was admitted pensioner (age 17) to St John's College, Cambridge on 17 March 1670-1; B.A. 1674/5, MA 1678; ordained deacon (Ely) 23 Sept. 1679.
