An important political tract and considered the author's masterpiece. "...one of the earliest, the clearest, and most absolute theoretical expositions of socialist and anarchist doctrine." - (Printing and the Mind of Man). Godwin (1756–1836) is one of the important precursors of both utilitarian and liberal anarchist thought. His 1793 Enquiry, published during the French Revolution, marks a phase in English thought, taking its place alongside Milton's Areopagitica, Locke's Essay on Education and Rousseau's Emile.
