A handsome copy. * Only edition, one of two issues from 1713. This vigorous argument in support of the restoration of the Stuart succession is a reply to the thesis advanced in William Higden's A View of the English Constitution, With Respect to the Sovereign Authority of the Prince, And the Allegiance of the Subject (1710) and A Defence of The View of the English Constitution with Respect to the Sovereign Authority of the Prince, And the Allegiance of the Subject (1710). George Ridpath replied to Harbin with a defense of Higden titled Parliamentary Right Maintain'd or the Hanover Succession Justify'd (1714). Some sources attribute Harbin's book to Hilkiah Bedford, who probably edited it and saw it through the press, and, erroneously, to Charles Leslie. English Short-Title Catalogue N17449.
