An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice

OUP Oxford

When honest young Caleb Williams comes to work as a secretary for Squire Falkland, he soon begins to suspect that his new master is hiding a secret. As he digs deeper into Falkland's past and finally unearths the horrible truth, the results of his curiosity prove calamitous when-even though Caleb has loyally sworn never to disclose what he has discovered-the Squire enacts a cruel revenge. A tale of gripping suspense and psychological power, William Godwin's novel creates a searing depiction of the intolerable persecution meted out to a good man in pursuit of justice and equality. Written to expose the political oppression and corrupt hierarchies its author saw in the world around him, Caleb Williams makes a radical call to end the tyrannical misuses of power.

History of the Commonwealth of England, From Its Commencement, to the Restoration of Charles the Second, Vol. 3: From the Death of Charles the First to the Protectorate (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from History of the Commonwealth of England, From Its Commencement, to the Restoration of Charles the Second, Vol. 3: From the Death of Charles the First to the Protectorate But, if there remained no old institutions to thwart their endeavours, the memory of these institutions still subsisted, and presented a formidable difficulty with which for them to contend. We shall see in what manner they tried to surmount that difficulty. Their ultimate success was not equal to their cou rage and their talents. But, if they did not build up a Commonwealth as durable as the foundations ofthe world, they at least subdued every declared enemy, both from within and without, and caused themselves to be re spected and feared by all surrounding na tions. The five years treated of in this volume may challenge any equal period of English. History in the glory of its rule, and perhaps in the virtue and disinterestedness of many of its most distinguished leaders.

Excerpt from Enquiry Concerning Political Justice, and Its Influence on Morals and Happiness, Vol. 2 of 2 IN the preceding divisions of this work the ground has been suf ficiently cleared, to enable us to proceed, with considerable explicitness and satisfaction, to the practical detail: in other words, to attempt the tracing out that application of the laws of general justice, which may best conduce to the gradual improve ment of mankind. It has appeared, that an enquiry concerning the principles and conduct of social intercourse is the most important topic upon which the mind of man can be exercised;* that, upon these principles, well or ill conceived, and the manner in which they are administered, the vices and virtues of individuals depend;1' that political institution, to be good, must have constant relation to the rules of immutable justice; I and that those rules, uniform in their nature, are equally applicable to the whole human race.
