EDWARD SAXBY BIOGRAPHY from the Biographical Dictionary of English Literature by John Cousin.
SAXBY, EDWARD ( d. 1658). — Born in Suffolk, and was in Cromwell's Horse. His extreme republican views, however, led him into the bitterest antagonism when C. assumed the Protectorship. This received expression in his extraordinary pamphlet, Killing no Murder , in which the assassination of C. is advocated, and which displays in a remarkable degree perverted ingenuity of argument combined with considerable literary power. S. d. demented in the Tower in 1658.
