Excerpt from Liberty and Liberalism: A Protest Against the Growing Tendency Toward Undue Interference by the State, With Individual Liberty, Private Enterprise and the Rights of Property Bearing the foregoing facts in view, I have drawn a great number and variety of my illustrations from the legislative and other public proceedings of the particular colony mentioned; Side by side with-this unusual development of political activity and intelligence, which is specially noticeable in that colony, there has unfortunately grown up a most serious misconception or misrepresentation, as to the true meaning of the political term, concerning which I have more particularly treated and there is distinctly apparent - there, as in Great Britain - all the symptoms of a return to class legislation of the most despotic character; not, as of old, in favour of the wealthy and aristocratic orders: but in the opposite direction, of conferring positive benefits upon the working classes - that is to say, the manual work ing classes - at the expense of the remainder of the com munity. Indeed the extreme Radical party of Great Britain have already acknowledged that there is scarcely an organic change which has found a place in the programme of doom Liberalism, that has not been accepted, and voluntarily introduced at the Antipodes.

Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. Spurious Liberalism--Modern Instances. "There is no surer way of drying up this great stream of self-help and self-reliance, than to teach the working classes that they should look, not so much to their own efforts, but to the state or the municipality."-- Professor Fawcett. "The popular cry now is for the state to override the man; for legislation to supply the place of open competition and free personal action."-- Joseph Cowen. "Democracies should leave as little as possible for the state to do. Every citizen should prevent, as much as possible, any control over individual energy."--Bradlaugh. "It is proposed to mitigate or extirpate poverty by governmental regulation of industry and accumulation. The substitution of government direction for the play of individual action, and the attempt to secure by restriction what can better be secured by freedom. . Whatever savours of regulation and restriction is in itself had." -- Henry George. I HAVE already ventured to submit to my readers what I may term a theory of the growth of Liberalism in Great Britain, as generalised from what I conceive to be a broad and comprehensive study of that nation's political history. At the risk of seeming to repeat myself, I venture to shortly re-state that theory. Whatever may have been the condition of the English people, prior to the conquest of 1066, that important event at once plunged the whole oC the conquered population into a condition of absolute subjection to the Norman invaders. Whatever liberty the people had acquired and enjoyed, prior to that event, was, in fact, taken from them by the sudden accession of the new monarch, who, at once, assumed all the rights and powers incidental to the despotic position which he had secured by...

The only major study and defense of Adam Smith-style liberalism in Australia, this 1887 work, a long-forgotten classic once again entering the spotlight, is, in the words of author BRUCE SMITH (1851-1937), an Australian lawyer and politician, "a protest against the growing tendency toward undue interference by the state, with individual liberty, private enterprise and the rights of property." Now considered one of the great overlooked intellectuals of the Victorian era, Smith here advocates government withdrawal from social and economic issues, seeing the solution to the misery of the world not in "the iron hand of an act of parliament" but in humanitarianism. With the debate about the proper role of government continues today, this remains a powerful argument for laissez-faire policies.

Everyone eschews labels yet we all seem to posses them in the minds of legions of politicians, marketers and even the ever-peering government. We are being targeted daily by flaming liberals, left-wing liberals, right-wing conservatives, compassionate conservatives, religious conservatives and liberals, pinko liberals, middle-of-the-road liberals conservatives and liberals, pinko liberals, middle-of-the-road liberals and conservatives and of course by neoconservatives and neoliberals. The search is on for kindred souls -- the types who will open their wallets to support whatever it is the hucksters are peddling. But what to these concepts mean and do their torchbearers grasp the underlying philosophies or do they care? This bibliography lists over hundreds of entries under each category which are then indexed by title an author.
