This book is published by Liberty Fund, inc., a foundation established to encourage study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals.
The cuneiform inscription that serves as our logo and as the design motif for our endpapers is the earliest-known written appearance of the word
“freedom” (amagi), or “liberty.” it is taken from a clay document written about 2300 b.c. in the sumerian city-state of Lagash.
This 2010 Liberty Fund edition is reproduced from the fifth edition originally published by Little, Brown and Co., 1956
