5.0 out of 5 stars Valueing the source May 7, 2007

By Robert Harper

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you are searching the source documents of the founding period to find what folks were saying about the role of government and this idea of "liberty", then this is a must have. Following the recent passage of the Patriot Act many citizens would be shocked about these wide rangeing essays concerning the value of liberty and the deligence by which the citizen must watch the workings of government(and institutions)to restrict this concept. This is a great edition and a great addition to a founding period library...both then and now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breathtaking... May 11, 2010

By Amy R. Nix

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Revolutionary writings on liberty, the sovereignty of the individual, and the dangers of government. I don't see how anyone could do without them.

The set I received was a duo of sturdily-bound and attractive hardcover volumes with brown cover boards and red spines. There are no dust jackets. Since what I received looked nothing like the picture provided here, I thought you might like to have a description of the actual books.
