About this Item

Small 8vo: [xvi], 376 [4] pp. Contemporary calf, neatly rebacked, contrasting label. First edition. From the library of Frances Emma Watkins of Denver, Colorado (1899-ca.1987) with her bookplate to rear pastedown, and earlier signature 'L.A. Watkins, Denver, Colo. 1889' to front pastedown. A reply to Henry Neville's work of 1681. 'Amongst many Seditious Libels, which of late have come abroad, none is more insolently bold than that which bears the Name of Plato Redvivus. The Author seems so hardened and confirmed in his Villanous Errors, that he makes no scruple to offer Treason and Sedition, for Reason and Loyalty. He would make us believe that he is supporting Our Government, whilst he endeavours utterly to destroy it .' from the Preface. Wing G917.
