In a half-century of reviewing, I have never encountered a more sobering book than A Plea for Liberty.

— John Chamberlain, Reason

This collection of essays was originally published in 1891, at a time when the modern welfare state was first taking shape. The theoretical and empirical contributions are fine examples of the classical liberal tradition in British thought.
