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.
