Killing, No Murder: With Some Additions Briefly Discoursed In Three Questions (1659) is a political pamphlet written by William Allen during the English Civil War. The book argues that the assassination of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, would be morally justifiable and necessary for the preservation of the country's liberties. The author presents three questions to support his argument: whether the killing of a tyrant is lawful, whether Cromwell is a tyrant, and whether his assassination would be beneficial to the nation. Allen also includes additional material discussing the current state of the government and the role of the people in defending their rights. The book was controversial at the time of its publication and remains a significant historical document for understanding the political and social climate of 17th century England.Fit For Public View, To Deter And Prevent Single Persons, And Councils, From Usurping Supreme Power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
