Collected Works of Thomas Hodgskin Volume VII

This seventh volume of the Collected Works of Thomas Hodgskin presents what amounts to Hodgskin's implicit Legal textbook - The Nature and Artificial Right of Property Contrasted (1832). The material comprises the substance of a series of letters, here undated, he claims to have written in 1829. We find him again "speaking truth to power" in his by then established style. The ferociousness of many of his comments seems to reflect less concern with the potential dangers he was exposing himself to, which can be seen to illustrate a matured confidence.
