Descriere Cato's Letters: Or, Essays on Liberty, Civil and Religious, and Other Important Subjects - John Trenchard

The Englishmen were John Trenchard and Thomas Gordon.\n \nJohn Trenchard (1662-1723) devoted himself to writing on contemporary British politics and for one year was a Member of Parliament from Taunton.\n \nThomas Gordon (ca. 1695-1750) was a tutor in languages, a publisher, and a pamphleteer.\n \nRonald Hamowy was Professor Emeritus of Intellectual History at the University of Alberta, Edmonton.\n
