Item description from seller

First edition of this work of Lockean toleration, written by a Unitarian merchant who had lived as a religious exile in post-Revocation France. William Popple (1638-1708), a nephew of Andrew Marvell and a like-minded associate of John Locke, is also known for translating Locke's Essay on Toleration into English. In 1682, Popple translated into French the Treatise of Humane Reason (1674) by Martin Clifford (c. 1624-1677), a tract also advocating individual rationality and religious toleration. The present Discourse is an expanded and revised edition of the Treatise's introduction, translated back into English: "though several Particulars be still the same, yet the whole is very much another thing" (pp. i-ii). Clifford, a prominent Restoration wit in his own right, was master of Charterhouse School for many years. ESTC R34988. Octavo (147 x 92 mm), pp. [ii], vi, 96. Contemporary sheep, covers panelled in blind, edges sprinkled brown. Light wear, rear joint cracked but holding firm, minor damp staining to contents: a very good copy.…
