Excerpt from Scrap Book on Law and Politics, Men and Times Wishing to exhibit a sample of his capabilities as Printer and Binder, recently established in the city of Lexington, Ky., the Publisher, understanding that the Hon. George Robertson retained copies of many of his miscellaneous addresses, the publication of which, in a more permanent form, had been desired by many friends, obtained his consent to publish such of them as constitute this volume. In making the selection, variety, as well as utility, has been consulted. Some of the selected articles are on constitutional principles of vital importance - some on interesting questions of legislation and political economy - some on general jurisprudence - and others literary, bio graphic, and historic. The author, not desiring such a publication, during his life, yielded his consent to it now, as he informed the Publisher, chiefly for the purpose of preserving fugitive writings, which he desires to save and transmit to his posterity; and he is, therefore, permitted to dedicate to his children a volume which the Publisher hopes, that not only they, but the Public, and especially of Kentucky, will find to contain sound principles, interesting facts, and wholesome counsels. The mechanical execution is not, altogether, as satisfactory as was desired and expected. Typographical errors have resulted from accident and haste. But, while most of these are too minute for a special reference to them, only a few pervert or obscure the sense. One of the later may be found in the fourth line of the first page, where Governor is misprinted for LIEUT.-Governor. Matter also, which the larger and more open style of ordinary book print, would have extended to at least 650 pages, having been compressed into only 402 pages, the volume is neither as readable, nor as attractive to the taste as it might, at no greater cost, have been made. But, with all its faults, it is submitted to a generous public, who will be concerned more for the substance than the form - the body than the drapery.

Excerpt from The New Politics, and Other Papers The case of the United States is not in point. In a country Where the necessities of life are cheap and the wages of labor high, where a man who has no capital but his legs and arms may expect to become rich by industry and frugality, it is not very decidedly even for the immediate advantage of the poor to plunder the rich; and the punishment of doing so would very speedily follow the offense. But in countries in which the great majority live from hand to mouth, and in which vast masses of wealth have been accumulated by a comparatively small number, the case is widely dif ferent. The immediate want is, at particular seasons, craving, imperious, irresistible. In our own time it has steeled men to the fear of the gallows, and urged them on the point of the bayonet. And, if these men had at their command that gallows, and those bayonets, which now scarcely restrain them, what is to be expected? Nor is this state of things one which can exist only under a bad government. Therefore, the better the government, the greater is the inequality of condi tions; and the greater the inequality of conditions, the stronger are the motives which impel the populace to spoliation. As for America, we appeal to the twentieth century. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Political d104 Book: Comprising a View of the Origin and Objects of Government, and an Examination of the Principal, Social, and Political Institutions of England The rights of men, in a state of society, extend to the doing every thing which is not injurious to another. Anon. Political society is founded in the principles of morality and justice. It is impossible for intellectual beings to be brought into coalition and intercourse without a certain mode of conduct, adapted to their nature and connection, immediately becoming a duty on the parties concerned. Men would never have associated, if they had not imagined that in consequence of that association they would mutu ally conduce to the advantage and happiness of each other. This is the real purpose, the genuine basis, of their inter course; and as far as this purpose is answered, so far does society answer the end of its institution - Godwin. When, by virtue of the first laws, part of the society accumulated wealth and grew powerful, they enacted others more severe, and would protect their property at the ex pense of humanity. This was abusing their power, and commencing a tyranny. If a savage, before he entered into society, had been told, Your neighbour by this means may become owner of a hundred deer; but if your brother, or your son, or yourself, having no deer of your own, and being hungry, Should kill one, an infamous death must be the consequence, he would probably have preferred his liberty, and his common right of killing any deer, to all the advantages of society that might be proposed to him. Franklin. In a state of nature, it is an invariable law, that a man's acquisitions are in proportion to his labours. In a state of artificial society, it is a law as constant and invariable, that those who labour most, enjoy the fewest things; and that those who labour not at all, have the greatest number of enjoyments. A constitution of things this, strange and ridiculous beyond expression. We scarcely believe a thing when we are told it, which we actually see before our eyes every day without being the least surprised. Bur/re.

The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers. There is a comprehensive chapter on natural, non-lethal, and lethal weapons, running the gamut from cattle prods to sub-machine guns to bows and arrows.
