A Treatise of Monarchy

By: Ferne, H. 1602-1662 Conscience Satisf

A Treatise of Monarchy, originally published in 1689, presents a detailed exploration of the principles and justifications for monarchical rule. Divided into two parts, the treatise first addresses the concept of monarchy in general, examining its theoretical underpinnings and historical precedents. The second part focuses specifically on the particular monarchy in question, offering a defense of its legitimacy and unique characteristics.

This edition includes "A Vindication of the Said Treatise," further elaborating on the author's arguments and responding to contemporary criticisms. A significant work in political philosophy, "A Treatise of Monarchy" provides valuable insights into the debates surrounding governance, authority, and the relationship between rulers and the ruled during a pivotal period in European history. It remains relevant for scholars interested in the history of political thought and the evolution of monarchical systems.
