Maitland’s sources of Liberty

This post will be the working space for the conversion of sources in Frederic William Maitland’s Liberty, first published in A Historical Sketch of Liberty and Equality, and now most easily viewable from the digital versions of the Collected Papers of Frederic William Maitland, vol. 1 [1911.]

Posts on Indexes will include text mostly in need of editing, for the purpose of moving elsewhere.  For example this post, once finished, could be converted into a Zotero bibliography and added Zotero Bibliographies, or could used found the base for a OLL Reading List or both.

[2]Op. Cit. There seems to me no absurdity in speaking of one form of government as more absolute than another, though Hobbes, Austin, and other analytical jurists think there is. That form of government is least absolute under which it may be expected that constitutional opinion, “opinion of right” (as Hume calls it), will allow to those who are ordinarily called the rulers the fewest powers.
