On Civil Liberty and Self-governmentWidely read and used as a political science textbook, this is the best known of Lieber's work. He was a prominent political philosopher who helped lay the foundation for the study of political science in the United States.

Enlarged edition in one volume, having first been published in two volumes in 1853. xiv, 629 pp. |
