Killing, No Murder: With Some Additions Briefly Discoursed In Three Questions is a book written by William Allen and first published in 1659. The book is a political treatise that argues for the assassination of Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, who had come to power after the English Civil War. The book is divided into three parts, each of which is structured around a question. The first question asks whether it is lawful to kill a tyrant, while the second asks whether Cromwell is a tyrant. The third question explores the practical considerations of assassinating Cromwell, including who should carry out the act and how it should be done.Allen's argument is based on the idea that Cromwell had become a tyrant who was oppressing the people of England and violating their rights. He argues that it is not only lawful, but necessary, to remove such a ruler from power by any means necessary, including assassination.The book was highly controversial at the time of its publication and was banned by the government. However, it became popular among those who opposed Cromwell's regime and was widely circulated in manuscript form. Today, Killing, No Murder is considered an important work of political theory and a significant example of the radical political thought that emerged in England during the 17th century.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.
