Published in London in 1661, this rare pamphlet titled “A Letter from a Person of Quality to a Principal Peer of the Realm, Now Sitting in Parliament, Occasioned by the Present Debate Upon the Penal Laws,” includes the notable phrase “Viva la liberte.” The document, 13 pages and measuring 19 cm, features a title within a double-lined border and is signed in the text by “J.H.” on June 17, 1661. Reflecting the post-Restoration political and social climate in England, the letter provides insights into debates surrounding religious tolerance and the enforcement of penal laws. With its mention of “Viva la liberte,” it encapsulates sentiments of liberty and possibly resistance within the context of the time, adding an intriguing layer to its historical significance.
