Description

Excerpt from History of Liberty, Vol. 1 of 2 The Old liberty was the liberty of rulers. As such it was remembered. As such it was the object of longings and strivings on the part of those by whom, or by whose ancestors, it had once been pos sessed. The loss which they felt most keenly was that of dominion. The gain of dominion was that for which they struggled most resolutely. They thought themselves struggling for liberty. They thought themselves lamenting for liberty. But it was because liberty and dominion had been one and the same throughout the ancient ages. Liberty had belonged to none but rulers. To recover or to preserve such a liberty as this, was not the want of mankind. The ruling classes of the West and of the East constituted but a small portion of the generations then existing. Not one man out of a thousand, out of a million, but was a subject in one or in another degree. The great need was of a liberty which should belong to these multitudinous Subjects as well as to their scattered rulers. The liberty of the ruler had failed. The liberty of the subject was the liberty now required. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
