This work was banned in France after its publication in 1710 because it
was found to pose a threat to the rights of the King. The ban was
extended to Rome in 1722, where its reading or possession were
forbidden. Our second edition contains all of the condemned text as
well as extra pieces dealing with the subject of tyrannicide.
