Main Bibliography

 

LPL's unfinished PhD Thesis on Charles Dunoyer ↩

This is LPL's unfinished and never submitted PhD thesis on Charles Dunoyer (5 chapters and 240 pages) which he gave to me many years ago (mid-1990). Written at Fordham University NYC c. 1965.

The title is not provided, but probably "Dunoyer and the Bourbon Restoration of 1814-15."

Chapters:

  • I. Dunoyer and the Bourbon Restoration of 1814: The Constitution and Freedom of the Press, p. 1-40
  • II. Moral Education and the Creation of Public Spirit among the French, p. 40-83
  • III. International Relations in 1814-1815: Anglophobia, Counter-Revolution and the Congress of Vienna, p. 84-154
  • IV. Censeur's Futile Struggle for Freedom of the Press: Dunoyer during the Hundred Days and the Second Restoration, p. 155-82
  • V. [no title], p. 183-240 [p. 1-49]

Books

Murray N. Rothbard, Conceived in Liberty, 4 vols. (1973-78). [PDF 23.3 MB].

  • in his oral autobiography LPL says he was the second author of the first 2 volumes: "In the middle 1960s, Murray and I began writing the history of colonial America which became the multi-volume Conceived in Liberty. Murray was the principle author as he was senior and had a fluent writing style. I was the second author on the first two volumes of Conceived in Liberty."
  • in the Preface to the volumes MNR says LPL was indespensible in writing the first three volumes (p. xix): "But my greatest debt is to Leonard P. Liggio, editor of The Literature of Liberty, San Francisco, whose truly phenomenal breadth of knowledge and insight into numerous fields and areas of history are an inspiration to all who know him. Liggio’s help was indispensable in the writing of volumes 1, 2, and 3 in particular his knowledge of the European background."
  • exactly what parts of vols. 1-3 are LPL's is anyone's guess.

Unsigned Editorials in Literature of Liberty: A Review of Contemporary Liberal Thought (1978-1982) ↩

The following are the editorials written for each issue of the journal Literature of Liberty: A Review of Contemporary Liberal Thought which was published first by the Cato Institute (1978-1979) and later by the Institute for Humane Studies (1980-1982) under the editorial direction of Leonard P. Liggio. It consisted of a lengthy bibliographical essays, editorials, and many shorter reviews of books and journal articles. There were 5 volumes and 20 issues. At the beginning of each issue an unsigned editorial appeared commenting on some aspect of the main bibliographical essay which had been commissioned for the issue. Although unsigned, they were most likely written by Leonard Liggio, possibly with the assistance of the Managing Editor John V. Cody. As more information about authorship comes to light I will amend the list.

I have added titles to the Editorials to provide some indication about their content. The numbers in brackets [4] refer to the original page numbers of the journal.

The editorials are on the following topics:

  1. Introduction to the Literature of Liberty
  2. Hayek and the Founding Fathers
  3. George Washington Julian (1817–1899)
  4. Natural Law and Grotius
  5. Anne Robert Jacques Turgot (1727–1781)
  6. John Stuart Mill (1806-1873)
  7. David Ricardo (1772–1823) and Sir Herbert Butterfield
  8. Native Americans and the Economics of Property Rights
  9. John Locke (1632–1704)
  10. Eighteenth-century middle-class English radicalism
  11. Lon Fuller and the Law
  12. John Bright and English Liberalism in the nineteenth century
  13. John Hospers and the Philosophy of Freedom
  14. Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
  15. Benjamin Tucker (1854-1939)
  16. Utopian Thinking
  17. Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)
  18. Spontaneous Order [by Walter E. Grinder]
  19. Ludwig von Mises (1881–1973)
