A Collection of the Political Writings of William Leggett: Selected and Arranged With a Preface by Theodore Sedgwick, Jr, Volumes 1-2

William Leggett was a prominent American journalist and early advocate of laissez-faire economics and individual liberty. This collection of his political writings, edited and introduced by Theodore Sedgwick, brings together some of his most influential essays on topics such as free trade, slavery, and the role of government in society. Leggett's clear and incisive style and his commitment to democratic ideals make his writings as relevant today as they were in the 19th century.
