First Edition. Winstanley, Gerrard. Kenny, Robert W., Editor. The Law of Freedom in a Platform, or, True Magistracy Restored. New York: Schocken Books, 1973 edition of the 1941 first edition. [vi], 152 pp. Illustrations. Publisher's gray-blue cloth with red ink stamped spine and front cover. Fine. Internally clean. $15. * "Gerrard Winstanley's Law of freedom in a platform was the first serious and sober attempt in the English language to restructure the whole of society along avowedly radical lines. By no means a literary Utopia in the tradition of Thomas More and Francis Bacon, it was designed as a blueprint for immediate and specific reform, the adoption of which would_in the writer's belief_allow the country to achieve an unprecedented degree of peace, harmony, and social justice. It was the final and most important literary production of the Diggers, a tiny band of mid-seventeenth century visionaries who undertook to turn the political revolution that had just destroyed monarchical government into a social revolution that would remedy the economic grievances of generations of 'oppressed commoners.' The Diggers [commonly referred to as Levellers] never numbered more than a hundred. and their efforts were repeatedly_and sometimes cruelly_ uashed by indignant neighbors bent on protecting their own rights" (Introduction, 1 pp).
