A Concise History of the Common Law. Theodore F. T. Plucknett

      The cuneiform inscription that serves as our logo and as a design element in Liberty Fund books 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.

      The 2010 Liberty Fund print edition was reproduced from the fifth edition originally published by Little, Brown and Co., 1956.
