De Libertat: A Historical and Genealogical Review, Comprising an Account of the Submission of the City of Marseilles is a book written by Arthur Lasenby Liberty in 1888. The book is a comprehensive review of the history and genealogy of the city of Marseilles, with a particular focus on its submission to the French monarchy in the 17th century.The book begins with an overview of the history of Marseilles, including its founding by the Greeks, its role as a major port city in the Mediterranean, and its struggles with piracy and political instability. Liberty then delves into the city's genealogy, tracing the lineage of its ruling families and their connections to other prominent families in France and Europe.The bulk of the book is devoted to the submission of Marseilles to the French monarchy in 1660. Liberty provides a detailed account of the negotiations between the city's leaders and Louis XIV, as well as the political and economic consequences of the submission for Marseilles and its inhabitants.Throughout the book, Liberty emphasizes the importance of liberty and independence, both for Marseilles and for France as a whole. He argues that the submission of Marseilles was a significant blow to the cause of liberty, and that the city's history and genealogy offer important lessons for those who value freedom and self-determination.Overall, De Libertat is a fascinating and informative book that will appeal to anyone interested in the history and politics of France, as well as to those who value the principles of liberty and independence.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
