Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on political theory and offers a collection of maxims on how a prince should govern. The author argues that a wise and prudent prince's actions should stem from their own judgment and not rely on external advice. The author posits that a prince can never be well-counseled unless they are capable of governing with their own prudence and that, if a prince relies on a single advisor, they will struggle to find someone sufficiently virtuous and capable of guiding them. The author also argues that a prince who seeks advice from many counselors will encounter conflicting opinions, leading to confusion and inaction. The author contends that a prudent prince will seek counsel from many but ultimately rely on their own judgment to make decisions. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of political philosophy and the nature of good governance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. 18mo: [xxiv], 594, [17, index], [1, blank] pp. with the engraved title page. Full period vellum blinding, with very faint holographic titles at the spine head and yapp edges. The contents are clean and bright. Some mild soiling to the vellum; else an exceptionally well-preserved example of Gentillet's influential Anti-Machiavel. Gentillet, a Huguenot lawyer and politician, wrote and published the Discours sur les moyens de bien gouverner (Sermon on the means of governing), in which he condemned the ideas of Niccolò Machiavelli (1469-1527), suspected of trying to introduce impiety and immorality in government. The book, translated and published in Latin in 1577, then in English, was widely read throughout Europe until the mid-17th century. Gentillet argues that the source of wealth of a state is its large population. He believes that the infighting and bad laws are contrary to the development of population and condemned luxury as detrimental to national welfare.…
