The Digital Library of Liberty and Power
"The Guillaumin Collection"
[Created: 26 Sept. 2022]
[Updated: March 28, 2023 ]

Introduction

I have named my collection of classic works about liberty and power the "Guillaumin Collection" in honour of the French publishing firm run by Gilbert-Urbain Guillaumin (1801-64) and his two daughters Félicité and Pauline, which published some 2,359 books, journals, dictionaries, and encyclopedias between 1837 and 1910 (see full list), and thus played a central role in the emergence of the “Paris School” of political economy (my paper and a list of key texts).

The books in the "Guillaumin Collection" are some of the most important works in the development of the classical liberal / libertarian tradition (see my list of “The Great Books of Liberty”). They are in their original language (English, French, or German), and are based upon either the first edition (such as Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations (1776) ) or the last edition published in the author's lifetime (such as Adam Smith’s Theory of Moral Sentiments (the 1st ed. appeared in 1759; the final revised edition appeared in 1790)).

These books have been more richly coded and have some features which other titles in the “Digital Library of Liberty and Power” do not have, in particular the original page numbers of the text, and a “citation tool” to help scholars cite a particular passage. For more information about this see the "Guide to Using the Citation Tool" and a more detailed description of the features of the Guillaumin Collection. and the sources of the original texts.

The texts in the collection are in a variety of formats:

  • a facsimile PDF of the original edition
  • an “enhanced HTML” with additional features (like the “citation tool”) (750px wide)
  • a variety of eBook versions of the text (600px wide), such as a simpler “eBook HTML", a text-based PDF, and an ePub version. These are all self-contained files and can be downloaded either singly or bundled together (along with a copy of the facsimile PDF) in a zipped file for reading elsewhere.

Note: I should mention that a couple of texts in the collection are not strictly “classical liberal” or “libertarian” but are included here because of their influence on both these traditions of political thought.

  1. the works of William Shakespeare - because of his insights into the nature of political and military power, and its effects on those who wield it and those who suffer from it. Shakespeare’s own political views are hard to determine exactly. It would be anachronistic to describe him as a “(classical) liberal” but he might be best describe as a “humanist” or at least a “sceptic”.
  2. The Federalist Papers written by Hamilton, Jay, and Madison (1788) - because they helped shape one of the great experiments to limit the power of the state by means of a written constitution and the division of power, but which in my view ultimately failed. Again, they are not classical liberal or libertarian, but they were part of the American ”conservative” tradition which has (or once had) some classical liberal and libertarian tendencies.

The Texts

Étienne de la Boétie, Discours de la servitude volontaire (1553). The manuscript was privately circulated because of its radical content and was published in various pirated editions by French Protestants who opposed persecution by the French Catholic state. His friend Montaigne published a version which is the version which most people know. However, a copy of the original manuscript was in the possession of one of his contemporary critics Henri de Mesmes which was published in 1853 in a form which kept most of the original spelling. [See this page for more information.]
