Description from the seller

First Edition
Milton, John
Joannis Milton: A Defense of the English People. Against Claudius Anonymus, also Salmasius's Royal Defense.
London: Du Gardian press, 1652
283 p.
Complete.

Along with Paradise Lost, it is Milton's most famous work. This is a response to Saumaise's actions, who defended King Charles I, murdered by Cromwell in 1649. Milton attacks Saumaise fiercely, demonstrating that regicide is justified by the law of nature according to ancient and modern wisdom. In the case of Charles I, it was also a matter of public necessity. He finally denounces and condemns foreign interference in the internal affairs of the state. The work caused a great scandal and underwent numerous reprints. It is one of the defining features of English historical literature.
