Description
Harrington, James. The Oceana of James Harrington, and His Other Works. London: Printed by the Booksellers of London and Westminster, 1700. George Wythe Collection, Wolf Law Library.
An author whose works influenced both the American and French revolutions, James Harrington (1611–1677) envisioned a commonwealth based on equality. Although based on a fictional domain, Harrington's major work, The Commonwealth of Oceana, outlines a tripartite government and provides practical suggestions for a republican constitution. This copy of the first compilation of Harrington's works is from the Wolf Law Library's George Wythe Collection.
