Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Liberty The necessity of teaching, not only to young Americans but to all prospective Americans, the meaning and mis sion of political liberty has but lately found expression in the movement known as Americanization. What is liberty as exemplified in American institutions? Where and how did it originate? Through what struggles and triumphs has it advanced? What peoples have always been its defenders, and how have its influence and bless ings been finally extended to include all nations of the earth? It is upon a knowledge of the facts implied in such questions as these that young American Citizens, whether native or foreign-born, are to become truly Americanized.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Standard of Liberty: An Occasional Paper Executive patronage under our constitution, is thought to put the Governor beyond the reach of the people; that when he has fenced himself with appointments under him, it is difficult, if not impossible to prevent his re-election. So far is this from being the fact, that it is his appointments which give him all his trouble, and lay the foundation of an opposition. We need not recur to a saying of Lewis 14th to prove this; that when he had confered an office or an honour, he made many dissatisfied, and one man ungrateful. He is ungrate ful, either because it is the nature of an obligation to produce ingratitude or because the man thinks himself injured in get ing less than his due. If I am to administer a government, and wish a continuance in office, or to escape enmities, let me have no appointments in my gift. It is invidious to select the qualified or bestow emoluments. What a host does not a Go vernor raise up against himself, in the exercise of such a trust? There can be but one man in many appointed to ohice; and yet all, or most expect offices. So blind is self-love that few men suspect their incapacity, or call in question their deseit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Defense of Liberty The statue of Liberty in New York Harbor is a somewhat trite object of contemplation. Both the cynic and the idealist have used that gigantic image to fill the gaps of many a moral tale and idle platitude. Its magnificent position, its ironic proximity to the marvelous metropolis of modern commerce, its embodiment of the ideas of Jefferson and Rousseau are so compelling a combination that I do not see how that dominating figure can fail to stir the pulses or quicken the imagination. Great is Diana of the Ephesians. It pleases men to solidify their ideals. The world is strewn with the frozen memorials of this desire, the desire for definite and unchangeable standards, the desire to record once and for all that this and no other is what we believe, and shall always believe. And, as in the case of Ozymandias, "nothing beside remains." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Essay on Liberty The cufiom to which I have here alluded has upon no occahon been exercifed with greater alacrity, or pufhed to a greater extent, than upon the momentous fubjeét of Liberty. To the comprehen fivenefs and magnitude of this principle, in which the duties and happinefs of all beings are primarily concerned, we are to attribute the earnefinefs of difcuflion, and the variety of fentiment, which have been employed in explanations of it's nature and it's end. Hence we may account too for that aétive fpirit of penetration, which has carried it's inquiries into the firft foundations of Govern ment, and for that latitude of pr1v1lege, which every one afferts, to examine without conf'traint every fyftem, upon which the moral and political welfare of mankind may depend. The immediate and important influence, therefore, which the direction of this habit has upon the beit interef'cs of Liberty, will be evident to all, who re flect that upon this fubjeé't almoft every man eftabliihes the right of private judgment for himfelf; that every feeling of his vanity, and every effort of his fagacity, is eagerly bufied in drawing the moft favourable conclufions for unlimited freedom, and that from fuch conclufions have refulted the moft dreadful outrages that have de formed the moral and political order of the w.orld The attempt, then, to defcribe in it's true colours, and to fix. Within it's true limits, that to which the blindnefs of errour and the turbulence of pafiion have given a fhape fo difiorted, and a power fo uncontrouled, muf't appear of the weightief't moment in the opinion of thofe, to whom the real Liberties of mankind are valuable, in proportion as they are accurately underflood, and temperately enjoyed.
