This book is published by Liberty Fund, Inc., a foundation established to encourage study of the ideal of a society of free and responsible individuals.

The cuneiform inscription that serves as our logo and as the design motif for our endpapers is the earliest-known written appearance of the word ``freedom'' (amagi), or ``liberty.'' It is taken from a clay document written

about 2300 b . c . in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.
