About this Item

.Small 8vo. 134p. Uncut and partly unopened in contemp. drab wrappers. First (only) edition. Written in response to a remark by Lessing, that what Febronius and his followers asserted, viz. that the temporal power of the pope should be reduced in favor of the princes, was shameless flattery of the princes; for all their arguments against the rights of the pope were either no arguments at all, or they were doubly and trebly valid for the princes themselves. Everyone could understand this; and that no one had yet said it publicly with all the sharpness that such a subject deserves, among so many who had the most urgent calling to do so, this was strange enough and a most bad sign .One of Jacobi's polemical writings, in which he presents the despotism of the medieval popes as preferable to that of enlightened princes'. A commentary on Johannes Muller's ultramontanist publication in defense of the papacy, in which he placed reason and freedom against despotism and all kinds of arbitrariness.
