English democratic ideas in the seventeenth century.

Description:

This book bears witness to remarkable width of reading and to unusual insight. It is a most skilful and, on the whole, complete sketch of democratic ideas, as developed not only in England, but in Scotland and the American colonies during the seventeenth century. By way of introduction, the author also gives some ac-count of the movement of political thought on the continent, particularly in France and Spain, in the preceding century. -- From http://www.jstor.org (Oct. 30, 2014).
