Shaftesbury: The First Earl is a historical biography written by H. D. Traill and published in 1888. The book tells the story of the life and political career of Anthony Ashley Cooper, the first Earl of Shaftesbury. Born in 1621, Shaftesbury was a prominent English politician and philosopher who played a key role in the political and religious upheavals of his time. Traill's book explores Shaftesbury's early life, his education at Oxford, and his entry into politics. The author delves into the complex political landscape of seventeenth-century England, examining Shaftesbury's involvement in the Whig and Tory parties, his role in the Exclusion Crisis, and his opposition to the policies of King James II. In addition to his political career, Traill also explores Shaftesbury's philosophical and religious beliefs, including his advocacy for religious toleration and his rejection of the doctrine of divine right of kings. The book also examines Shaftesbury's personal life, including his marriage and his relationships with his children. Overall, Shaftesbury: The First Earl provides a comprehensive portrait of one of the most important figures in seventeenth-century English politics and philosophy. Traill's writing is engaging and accessible, making this book an excellent choice for anyone interested in the history of England or the political and philosophical ideas that shaped the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
