Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Milton and Liberty Milton's political writings possess more than a biographical value - they have a message for our own time. The more democracy spreads the more it is to be desired that the people should be so inspired and guided that they will make a noble use of their freedom. Such inspiration and guidance are found pre-eminently in Milton. The people who follow his doctrine of liberty will make more of duties than of rights, and value rights mainly as the means of performing duties. They will use their power, not to compete with one another for material well-being or any private advantage, but for mutual service and the common good. Without such an ideal, democracy will only, as Mazzini has said, produce egotists who will carry the old passions and desires into.
