Early Continental edition of Milton’s celebrated defence of the English Commonwealth, issued with a false London imprint the same year as the first printing.

A pivotal work in the polemics of the Interregnum, Milton’s Defensio is a searing rebuttal of Claude Saumaise’s Defensio regia, the Royalist tract defending Charles I, published the previous year. The work is significant as the official reply commissioned by the English Parliament, written in Milton’s capacity as Latin Secretary to the Council of the Commonwealth. Prompted by the serious effect Salmasius’s arguments were having on public opinion across the Continent, the treatise offers an eloquent defence of the regicide and the legitimacy of the Commonwealth. Milton considered it his finest work in prose.

The Defensio appeared in more editions and was more widely circulated during Milton’s lifetime than any other of his works. The speed with which the work travelled across Europe is reflected in this Amsterdam edition, produced by Jansson’s press at a moment when the book was fiercely sought after. Contemporaries recognised Milton’s 1651 reply to Saumaise as an extraordinary demonstration of talent by a previously little-known writer, decisively dismantling the arguments of one of the most eminent scholars of the age. The result is a work that played a key role in shaping Milton’s Continental reputation and cemented his position as one of the most formidable polemical prose stylists of the seventeenth century.

The annotation in this copy appears to be the work of a contemporary Royalist reader who has inscribed a series of Latin anagrams to a loosely inserted slip, derived from “Carolus Stuartus Angliae, scotiae et Hiberniae Rex Aula, Statu, Regno exucris ac hostili arte necaberis” (Charles Stuart, King of England, Scotland and Ireland: you will be slain by cruel and hostile art, stripped of court, state, and kingdom.) Assuming the voice of the dead king addressing Parliament, the annotator continues, “Exercitas atque Parliamentum Anglicanum novum. Canes! ut rex nil aut parum mali umquam egi, nec muto” (You stir up an army and a new English Parliament. You dogs! As king, I have done little or no evil ever, and I do not change). This provocative response to Milton’s text presents a striking example of Royalist polemical engagement in the mid-seventeenth century.

Our copy is offered here with an early edition of Saumaise’s influential defence of Charles I. Claude Saumaise (1588-1653), the distinguished French humanist and philologist, completed the treatise at the request of Charles II, who is widely believed to have underwritten its publication. The work’s appearance caused a sensation. Suppressed in England, with Milton himself among the official censors, the Defensio Regia circulated freely on the Continent and quickly provoked the famous reply commissioned by the Commonwealth, Milton’s Pro Populo Anglicano Defensio (1651). The exchange between Saumaise and Milton stands as one of the defining political controversies of the Interregnum.

Quick and easy to install
This review is for the INFISTAR AC85111 Cabin Air Filter. To be honest, when I saw this product I was a bit perplexed as to whether our car (Honda Odyssey) even had one! I have never replaced a cabin air filter on any car before. The mechanics might have done so during regular service, but I was not aware of it and had to do an internet search to find out where it would even be installed. Just because of my ignorance, I decided to get it and educate myself. My car actually DID have one and installation would have been a quick and easy job if I remembered to take all the heavy stuff (manuals, etc.) out of the glove box. Because I did not do it, it unhooked it on the right and I had quite a bit of trouble realigning it. If it hadn't been for that, installation would have only take a couple of minutes as it was a breeze. The new filter looks like a good quality product and will last a while. Jury is still out for me on the color though. The old filter was white, so it was easy to see the dirt it trapped. This new filter is almost dirt color which would make it harder to see how dirty it is. However, at such an affordable price, I can replace it as often as I want. I asked my mechanic about it and he said he only replaces cabin air filters if the customer requests it or if he notices a funny odor in the car.

Effective Cabin Air Filter – Fresh and Clean Air for My Car
I recently replaced my car’s cabin air filter with the AC85111 activated carbon filter, and I’ve noticed a clear improvement in air quality inside the vehicle. It helps keep the cabin air fresh, especially during daily commutes and long drives. The activated carbon layer does a good job of reducing dust, odors, and outside pollution, making the driving experience more comfortable. I also noticed less smell from traffic fumes and general road dust entering the car. The fit was perfect for my Honda Pilot, and installation was simple without needing any special tools. It is compatible with several Honda and Acura models, which makes it a reliable replacement option. The material feels well-made and sturdy enough for regular use, ensuring consistent airflow while filtering out impurities effectively. Considering its performance and durability, it also offers good value for money. Overall, this is a practical, easy-to-install, and reliable cabin air filter that helps maintain cleaner and fresher air inside the car.
