The Digital Library of Liberty and Power
"The Guillaumin Collection"

INTRODUCTION | THE AUTHORS (93) | SUBJECT AREAS (6) | THE BOOKS (195)

[Created: 23 February, 2023]
[Updated: 12 October, 2024 ]

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”). My aim is to create a “near replica” of the original classic text which can be used for scholarly purposes, either by being read online or downloaded for personal use. The texts are in their original language (English, French, German, and Latin), 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)). In addition, there is a facsimile PDF of the original text for those who wish to see an “actual replica” of the text.

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, such as

  1. the original page numbers of the text (the traditional way in which scholars would cite a passage)
  2. a unique paragraph ID number which allows the “citation tool” to grab the ID number and create a “citation” for that paragraph. There is a short version which just has the URL for that paragraph (the “anchor” symbol), and a long version which has the full bibliographic information for the text as well as the URL for that paragraph (the “star” symbol). For more information about this see the "Guide to Using the Citation Tool" and the more detailed description of the features of the Guillaumin Collection and the sources of the original texts.
  3. an easier to read format for these texts in the main section of the Library. The aim is to make these rather dense texts more readable online. The texts are now 600px wide (instead of 750 which was the standard previously), there is more spacing between the lines and the paragraphs, and the background colour is an off-white (based on the ideas of Edward Tufte).

The texts in the collection are in a variety of formats. In the main part of the Library you can find:

  1. a facsimile PDF of the original edition
  2. an “enhanced HTML” with the additional features listed above

In the eBook part of the Library (to which this page is the entry point) there are three kinds of versions of the text:

  1. an “enhanced HTML” which is 600px wide and has the additional features listed above (except for the off-white background colour)
  2. a text-based PDF made from this HTML version, and
  3. an ePub version, also made from this HTML

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. The zipped file also contains the CSS (the style sheet which formats the texts) and the Java script (which runs the citation tool).

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”. As well ashis poems Venus and Adonis (1594) and Sonnets (1609) just because i felt like it.
  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.

On Using the Tables Below

The first table lists the authors in the collection in alphabetical order. Clicking on a name will sort the table of texts below by author and take you to the first book by that author.

The second table lists the texts by date of publication. It has information about the author, the title, and the date of the edition used, with links to other parts of the site for more information or particular versions of the texts. The table is "sortable" by "Author" name, book "Title", and date of the "Edition Online". Clicking on the column name will sort the material in ascending order; clicking on it a second time with sort it in descending order. This may take a second or so to happen. The default order of the texts is by the date of the edition we have put online.

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.]

Independent Whig (1720, 1743, 1747)


The series of essays known as "The Independent Whig" were jointly written by John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon and first appeared in 1720. The collection was expanded and went through many editions. I have put online a four volume collection drawn from various editions which were available to me. They are:

Thomas Gordon and John Trenchard, The Independent Whig. (London : Printed for J. Peele, at Locke's Head, 1721). Nos. 1 - 53 and Index. The first edition in one volume.

A reprint of the 1st edition now in 2 volumes (1743): Thomas Gordon and John Trenchard, The Independent Whig: or, a Defence of Primitive Christianity, And of Our Ecclesiastical Establishment, against The Exorbitant Claims and Encroachments of Fanatical and Disaffected Clergymen. The Seventh Edition, with Additions and Amendments (London: J. Peele, 1743). Two volumes.

Beginning with the 4th edition of 1728 the title of the series was expanded to "The Independent Whig: or, a Defence of Primitive Christianity, And of Our Ecclesiastical Establishment, against The Exorbitant Claims and Encroachments of Fanatical and Disaffected Clergymen": Thomas Gordon, The Independent Whig: or, a Defence of Primitive Christianity, And of Our Ecclesiastical Establishment, against The Exorbitant Claims and Encroachments of Fanatical and Disaffected Clergymen. Vol. III. The Second Edition. (London: J. Peele, 1741).

A "volume 4" appeared in 1747: Thomas Gordon, The Independent Whig. Being a Collection of Papers. All written, some of them published, During the Late Rebellion. Vol. IV. (London: J. Peele, 1747).

I have compiled an edition of "The Collected Independent Whig" (1720-1747) using the available volumes from these different editions (1741, 1743, 1747). It is available as "4vols-in-1" in enhanced HTML, and eBook HTML, PDF, and ePub

Each of the four volumes is also available separately:
