The Online Library of Liberty is particularly strong in its collection of material covering the American Revolution, the creation of the Constitution, and the Early Republic. This reflects the interest the Liberty Fund has in the ideals of individual liberty and limited government and the belief that these ideals motivated the men and women who took part in the creation of the American Republic. Many of the books listed below are published in book form by Liberty Fund and we are very pleased to be able to make them, and other important titles, available online.
