Hang in there while we get back on track
A seasonable, legall, and historicall vindication and chronologicall collection of the good, old, fundamentall, liberties, franchises, rights, laws of all English freemen (their best inheritance, birthright, security, against arbitrary, tyrannicall, and Egyptian burdens) and of their strenuous defence in all former ages; of late years most dangerously undermined, and almost totally subverted, under the specious disguise of their defence and future establishment, upon a sure basis, their pretended, greatest propugners. Wherein is irrefragably evinced by parliamentary records, proofs, presidents, that we have such fundamentall liberties, franchises, rights, laws, that to attempt or effect the subversion of all or any of them, (or of our fundamentall government) by fraud or force, is high treason: the principall of them summed up on 9 principles ... Collected, recommended to the whole English nation, as the best legacy, he can leave them. By William Prynne of Swainswick, Esquire

Part of
The Sid Lapidus '59 Collection on Liberty and the American Revolution
After nearly 60 years of collecting, Sid Lapidus ’59 has presented to the Library more than 2700 volumes representing the fruits of his enthusiasm. Broadly conceived, the collection charts the definition and re-definiton of rights and liberties endemic to Western political traditions. The main focus is texts and documents relating to the American Revolution, its run-up dating back to the Commonwealth men, and coming down to documents of the early Federal government.
