1698 John MILTON 1^ed King Charles I Execution England Oliver Cromwell RARE

Few authors were as polarizing and popular in the 17^th-century as English author John Milton. With epic poems like ‘Paradise Lost’, Milton has remained an important part of the canon of English literature into the 21^st-century. However, beyond this masterpiece, Milton published a collection of works on the state of England after the execution of King Charles I.

Works found in this 1698 volume include:

• “Eikonoklastes” – Milton’s justification of the execution of Charles I
• “Tenure of Kings and Magistrates” – defense of the people’s right to execute a guilty monarch
• “Observations upon the Articles of Peace”
• “Defense of the People of England” – an answer to Claudius Salmasius’s “Defense of Charles I”
• Letters during the administration of the Commonwealth and the Cromwells
• Commentaries and notes on a sermon by Matthew Griffith
• “Easy Way to Establish a Free Commonwealth”
• Many others
