About This Item

London: D. Browne [et al].., 1718. Boards. Fair. Folio, pp. [ii]-xv + [xvi] errata + [1]-739 +blank + [22] index + [23] ads; full period calf stamped in black; contemporary morocco spine label gilt; boards starting to detach (with leather loss) but still held by cords; tips worn; several small dings and gouges; later hand-lettered library code to heel of spine; library ink stamp to top edge; bookplates to pastedown; ink stamp, embossed stamp, and library numerals to title leaf; embossed stamp to pp. 17-18; leaves generally clean; library pocket and electronic tag to rear pastedown; a reasonably attractive ex-library copy. Properly de-accessioned. Boards. Later edition printed in the year of the author's death. The first dialogue appears to have been printed under this title as early as 1691. The Dialogues have to do with the legitimacy of the claim for the divine right of Kings and the nature of English Constitutional government. Tyrrell also explores the question of under what circumstances, if any, a monarch may forfeit his title to the crown. The reigns considered include those of King William, the Norman, King James II, King William and Queen Mary, King Charles I, and others.

Tyrrell (1643-1718) was a Whig historian and a friend of John Locke.
