Original full worn leather binding. Boards fragile. Spine very worn with loss at head and tail. Lacks one of two leather spine labels. Henry St John (1678-1751) was an English politician, government official and political philosopher. He was a leader of the Tories, and supported the Church of England politically despite his anti-religious views and opposition to theology. Bolingbroke was a major influence on Voltaire, and on the American patriots John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Adams said that he had read all of Bolingbroke's works at least five times; indeed, Bolingbroke's works were widely read in the American colonies, where they helped provide the foundation for the emerging nation's devotion to republicanism. His vision of history as cycles of birth, growth, decline and death of a republic was influential in the colonies; as was his contention on liberty: that one is "free not from the law, but by the law." ENGLAND BX 5 Language: eng. Hardcover. Fair.
