Streater, and are to be sold at his shop at the Crown in Pope's-Head Ally, 1656. FIRST EDITION. Sm. folio, old calf, rebacked. £8 8s The First Edition of (according to Hume) "the only valuable model of a Common wealth that has yet been offered to the public." The "Oceana" was long famous, Its main principle is that power depends upon the balance of property, and normally of landed property. His scheme is expounded in an imaginary history of Oceana (England), in which Olphaus Megaletor (Oliver Cromwell) founds a new constitution. An "agrarian " limits landed estates to a value of £3,000 a year. The senate proposes laws, which are voted upon by the people, and the magistracy execute them. Elaborate systems of rotation and balloting are worked out in detail, and the permanence of the system is secured by the equilibrium of all interests. His republic is a moderate aristocracy. Machiavelli is his great authority, and Venice (as with many of his contemporaries) his great model. Toland gives us the story that the manuscript of "Oceana was seized by Cromwell, and restored only through the intercession of Mrs. Claypole, whom Harrington had playfully threatened with stealing her child unless her father would restore it. A smart controversy followed the publication, and led to the issue of several tracts by Harrington. HARRINGTON (JAMES). 12595 An Essay Upon two of Virgil's Eclogues, AND TWO BOOKS OF HIS ENEIS.
