Publisher's Synopsis

The Governor V1 is a book written by Thomas Elyot and first published in 1880. The book is a treatise on the art of governing, and it explores the qualities and virtues that a good governor should possess. Elyot draws on classical sources such as Aristotle and Cicero, as well as his own experience as a diplomat and courtier, to offer practical advice on how to rule justly and effectively. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the importance of education and moral character, the role of religion in governance, and the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. Elyot's writing is erudite and persuasive, and his ideas on good governance continue to be relevant today. The Governor V1 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in political philosophy or the history of government.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
