The Commonwealth of Oceana, published 1656, is a composition of political philosophy written by the English politician and essayist, James Harrington (1611-1677). The unsuccessful first attempt to publish Oceana was officially censored by Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658). It was eventually published, with a dedication to Cromwell.

Oceana - The Commonwealth of Oceana - By James Harrington The Commonwealth of Oceana was published in two first editions, the "Pakeman" and the "Chapman" (first names Daniel and Livewell, respectively) by the London printer John Streater, between September and November 1656. Their contents are nearly identical. The Chapman edition was listed in the Stationers' Register of 19 Sep, and was first advertised during the week of 6 Nov in the serial Mercurius Politicus, a "quasi-official" organ of the Commonwealth. The first edition of the book was seized while at the printer and taken to Whitehall. Harrington appealed to Elizabeth Claypole, Cromwell's favourite daughter; she agreed to intervene with the Lord Protector. The book went on to be published, was widely read and attacked by Henry Ferne, later Bishop of Chester, and by Matthew Wren. In 1659 an abridged version in three volumes, entitled The Art of Lawgiving was published. Harrington's first editor was John Toland (1670

Synopsis: How could it come to this? Why would God let this happen to me? These were questions two very different souls in very different circumstances were forced to ask.Giovanni was a poor fisherman living in 16th Century Venice. His entire family had been lost to the white plague. He suffered through their deaths only to discover that he too was infected with it. He is now alone and questioning his faith. The angel, Adalyn, was a hero of the Celestial War against Lucifer. All knew and admired her until she uncovered a plot to overthrow the Most High. In an attempted cover up, Adalyn is betrayed and cast out of Heaven. She is sent to the mortal world to face torture and death at the hands of the creatures she most fears: humans. Their worlds become intertwined when, by chance, Giovanni rescues her while out fishing. Injured and blind as the result of her expulsion, Adalyn has little choice but to rely on this primitive creature for protection against the Church, Lucifer, and God's own decree if she is to expose the true traitor and save all of existence.

Oceana is a political treatise written by James Harrington in the mid-17th century. The book is a detailed analysis of the ideal political system, which Harrington called Oceana. Harrington believed that the best form of government was a republic, where the power was distributed equally among the people. He argued that the key to a successful republic was a balanced distribution of property, which would prevent any one group from dominating the others. The book is divided into three parts. The first part is a discussion of the history of political systems, where Harrington examines the strengths and weaknesses of various forms of government. The second part is a detailed description of the Oceana system, including its institutions, laws, and the role of the citizens. The third part is a critique of other political systems, including monarchy and aristocracy, and an argument for the superiority of the Oceana system. Harrington's ideas were influential in the development of republican thought and had an impact on the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The book is considered a classic of political philosophy and is still studied today by scholars of political science and history.THIS 242 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Ideal Commonwealths, by James Harrington.

The war in the celestial realm had taken its toll on everyone. The angel population had been decimated, and the Most High's Kingdom was in ruins. Lucifer had been expelled and the remnants of his army were being hunted down. One of his most loyal followers, General Xaphan, was one of the last to be captured, ushering in the end of any legitimate threat that Lucifer still posed... or so the angels thought. General Xaphan, after being expelled, aids Lucifer in the reconstruction of his armies in his newly founded underworld kingdom. However, unknown even to Xaphan, Lucifer has concocted another plot to return to Celestial World... by means of attacking the Most High's children in the Mortal Realm. To safeguard his powers and collect information on the human race, Lucifer strips Xaphan of her identity, memories, and wings, and sends her to live on Earth. Unfortunately for Xaphan, she is dropped in the middle of a fierce war between the Papal States and the armies of Emperor Charles V. It is during this time that she befriends a young soldier in the Papal army, a Florentine named Piero Lorenzi. The two become very close and eventually marry. As the war rages on, Xaphan is haunted by fragmented memories and horrible nightmares. The torment seems endless until Lucifer appears and restores her memories. A conflicted Xaphan returns to Hell with Lucifer. With little help from anyone, and almost no chance of success, Piero sets out on a journey to save his wife, not only from Lucifer's forces, but from herself. Time is of the essence as the imperial armies creep towards the borders of Florence. The decisions Piero is forced to make, will determine the future, not only of a nation, but of all existence.
