Excerpt from The Works of John Locke, Vol. 6
Absolute liberty, just and true liberty, equal and im partial liberty, is the thing that we stand in need of.' Now, though this has indeed been much talked of, I doubt it has not been much understood; I am sure not at all Practised, either by our governors towards the people in general, or by any dissenting parties of the people towards one another.
I cannot, therefore, but hope that this discourse, which treats of that subject, however brie?y, yet more exactly than any we have yet seen, demonstrating both the equitableness and practicableness of the thing, will be esteemed highly seasonable by all men who have souls large enough to prefer the true interest of the public, before that of a party.
