Public Letters and Political Essays

This collection brings together the political writings and short essays of Lysander Spooner for the first time in a single volume. Spooner's editorials span topics ranging from abolitionism and the Civil War, to free banking and currency, to the trial of President Garfield's assassin, to government corruption in Massachusetts during the Gilded Age - all with biting wit and an uncompromising disdain for politicians.

Containing over 40 years of newspaper editorials as well as the complete set of Spooner's contributions to the magazine Liberty, many of these essays have been out of print for over a century. For any fan of Spooner's political philosophy, and the idea of human liberty generally, this collection is essential reading.
