Excerpt from Political Pamphlets Polemical articles which might possibly have been included with advantage. It is hoped, however, that by means of excerpt and footnote no pamphlet of the first importance has been altogether neglected; and the editors of the various volumes explain in their introductions the reason and the limit of their selections. Concerning the value of the Pamphlet and the expediency of its recension, Dr Johnson himself will be found discoursing with preg nancy and wit in Mr Ernest Rhys's Literary Collection, and his strenuous sentences are more than sufficient argument in favour of the present enterprise. For, indeed, Reform is the child of Controversy, and the most effectual arrows in the quiver of Controversy are those of a country's Press. Before the day of the clamouring newspaper, the Pamphlet was the leader of popular taste, so that in a study of these fugitive pieces we may see the features of an Age, as in a glass, may mark its expression, and understand its tendency.

Excerpt from Red Rose Pamphlets: No; 5-13 The condition of England at the present time may properly be described as one of political agitation. That is to say, people are much more concerned about the duties of other people than about the performance of their own. While the masters of industry are complaining bitterly of the encroachments of the trade unions and the reckless extravagance of the working man, the working man himself is being filled with bitter hatred of the capitalist while he mutters demands for regulation of his power. Agitation in all its forms is being fostered by modern electioneering methods, by both the great political parties and by the newspapers of every political complexion. It is clear that such a state of things must be ephemeral. No great state can exist except by virtue of the deepest social affection, the most sincere cc-operation and mutual regard. The present state of agitation has already brought us to the verge of a crisis in the important sphere of industry. But the labour troubles of the last few years will have served a good purpose if they have convinced our statesmen that a proper industrial policy can be pursued only by those who have sound political motives, and a clear idea of national aims. It is one thing to plunge into the chaos of our industrial centres, to see a mass of suffering and degradation, and to appoint factory inspectors for its relief; it is quite another thing to appreciate the causes which make this relief necessary and to seek to reform the existing system without regarding any part of that system as necessary or inevitable. No man can be regarded as a serious statesman who shirks facing the central fact in modern politics. The crisis in industry is the heart and centre, the controlling factor, of the situation. Here lies the problem waiting for solution, and here precisely is the difficulty we are in duty bound to overcome. If we find the way to surmount this obstacle to progress we shall found a new tradition Until the obstacle is surmounted, decay and not progress is the word we must use if we would accurately describe the state of our civilisation. But if we can find the way to establish a new tradition by our triumph over a single difficulty we shall supply that Vital essence without which the most perfect system is useless, which itself also can mould into practical shape any system it inspires. It is, then, in the hope of making a practical experiment and of founding a tradition that we set out to examine the condition of industry. The industrial system, as we know it, is of recent origin. The vast population of this country has grown up in poverty and misery in consequence of the system and our education and morality have been profoundly modified in obedience to those who invented or who control it: It is, in consequence, very difficult for us to understand that the evils we see around us are due to man's folly and not to the decrees of a cruel fate. And yet it becomes obvious to anyone who has studied history that most of the evils of the system are preventible by the application of perfectly sound and perfectly simple principles.

Excerpt from Famous Pamphlets Areopagitica: A Speech for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing, to the Parliament of England. Henry VI II., when he destroyed the Pope's authority in England, took it to himself. He continued the cen sorship of books, which had been established for the suppression of opinions hostile to the established faith, and extended censorship over political writings which had not been checked by Rome. Queen Elizabeth allowed printing only to a few known presses in London, Oxford and Cambridge, and that was not the liberty of printing, for there was strict endeavour to suppress utterance of opinion that might disturb the order of the State. A decree of the Star Chamber, in 1637, limited the number of printers in the whole country to twenty and of type-founders to four. With provision for strict censorship of all they uttered to the world. In 1640 the Star Chamber was abolished, but in 1643, on the 14th of June, the' Parliamen pression, by an'ordinance for the regulating of printing. Milton at once set himself to reason with the chiefs of his own party, and used all the force of his genius to make them understand that truth can be established only by the freest interchange of thought. The principle for which he contended is that upon which all healthy growth and national prosperity, in its true sense, must depend. He took for his model an oration written' to be read, which was addressed by Isocrates to the Areopagus, the Great Council of Athens, and is known as the Areopagitic Discourse. Isocrates called on the Parliament of Athens to undo acts of its own; Milton was making a like call on the Areopagus of England. He gave to his work the exact form of a Greek oration, with exordium, statement, proof and peroration; and he put into it the very soul of England, claiming freedomin the search for truth. It was published in November 1644. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Political Pamphlets It is sometimes thought, and very often said, that political writing, after its special day is done, becomes more dead than any other kind of literature, or even journalism. I do not know whether my own judgment is perverted by the fact of a special devotion to the business, but it certainly seems to me that both the thought and the saying are mistakes. Indeed, a rough-and-ready refutation of them is supplied by the fact that, in no few cases, political pieces have entered into the generally admitted stock of the best literary things. If they are little read, can we honestly say that other things in the same rank are read much more? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
