Excerpt from Addresses, Literary, Political, Legal Miscellaneous, Vol. 2 Both of these arguments were delivered before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and are on subjects which involved not only great legal questions, but which also enlisted an unusual degree of popular interest. The one relating to the rights, duties and penalties of citizenship was delivered before the Supreme Court soon after the war, and as the legal point at issue was a new one before the courts of either State or nation, and as it affected the right of franchise in very large circles in this and other States, popular interest in the dispute was very general and earnest. It is entirely. Safe to say that this argument is the most exhaustive presentation of the mutual relations between our free government and its subjects that has ever been presented in any of our American courts.

Excerpt from Addresses, Literary, Political, Legal Miscellaneous, Vol. 2 The second volume of Mr. McClure's addresses presents his attainments as a public speaker in every possible phase, and no apology need be offered for presenting them. The two legal arguments with which the volume opens are the only addresses of that character which have been preserved. The great interest felt in the legal issues involved in those cases induced a stenographic report of the arguments on both sides, and as legal arguments are seldom prepared in full by lawyers it is not surprising that only two of his many addresses in the court have been preserved. Both of these arguments were delivered before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, and are on subjects which involved not only great legal questions, but which also enlisted an unusual degree of popular interest. The one relating to the rights, duties and penalties of citizenship was delivered before the Supreme Court soon after the war, and as the legal point at issue was a new one before the courts of either State or nation, and as it affected the right of franchise in very large circles in this and other States, popular interest in the dispute was very general and earnest. It is entirely safe to say that this argument is the most exhaustive presentation of the mutual relations between our free government and its subjects that has ever been presented in any of our American courts. The other legal argument given affected alike the interests of the bench, the bar and the press, although the immediate question involved was the right of a Judge to debar two prominent attorneys for criticism published in a newspaper of which they were the editors after the final judgment of the court, and on a case in which the debarred attorneys were not professionally interested.

Frederic Bastiat (1801-1850) was a keen observer of political and economic problems and a passionate proponent of liberal economic theory. This book collects nineteen of Bastiat's articles, ranging from the theory of value and rent, public choice and collective action, government intervention and regulation, the balance of trade, education, and trade unions to price controls, capital and growth, and taxation. Throughout his articles, Bastiat demonstrates how the combination of careful logic, consistency of principle, and clarity of exposition is the instrument for solving most economic and social problems. In his famous essay "The Law" Bastiat explains that the law, far from being what it ought to be, "namely the instrument that enabled the state to protect individuals' rights and property", had become the means for what he termed "spoliation" (or plunder). From the article "The State" written at the height of the 1848 Revolution in June, comes perhaps his best-remembered quotation: "The state is the great fiction by which everyone endeavours to live at the expense of everyone else". In this volume readers will find extensive introductory material, including notes on the translation and on the editions of the uvres completes, a chronology of Bastiat's life and works, two maps of France showing the cities associated with Bastiat, annotations to the articles, and a bibliography. A special section provides charming, little-known anecdotes about Bastiat and his contemporaries, including his editor Prosper Paillottet, who became Bastiat's firm friend and eventually his executor. This section also includes discussions of key concepts such as individualism, laissez-faire, industry, plunder, and the right to work. Three glossaries explain persons, places, and subjects and terms.
