Cato s Letters or Essays on Liberty, Civil and Religious, and Other - Four Volumes in Two

Klappentext Almost a generation before Washington, Henry, and Jefferson were even born, two Englishmen, concealing their identities with the honored ancient name of Cato, wrote newspaper articles condemning tyranny and advancing principles of liberty that immensely influenced American colonists. The Englishmen were John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon. John Trenchard (1662-1723) devoted himself to writing on contemporary British politics and for one year was a Member of Parliament from Taunton. Thomas Gordon (ca. 1695-1750) was a tutor in languages, a publisher, and a pamphleteer. Ronald Hamowy was Professor Emeritus of Intellectual History at the University of Alberta, Edmonton. Zusammenfassung A generation before Washington, two Englishmen, under the name of Cato, wrote newspaper articles condemning tyranny and advancing principles of liberty that influenced American colonists. This two-volume edition offers versions of the letters from the four-volume sixth edition printed in 1755.
