Introduction to the Collection↩

We are putting online a large collection of 17th century Leveller Tracts in 7 volumes. There will be about 300 texts online when we have finished. [Total as of Jan. 5 2017 was 302.] Our policy is not to modernize the spelling or punctuation but to transcribe the originals as they were first published.

Tracts on Liberty by the Levellers and their Critics (1638-1660), 7 vols. Edited by David M. Hart and Ross Kenyon (Indianapolis: Liberty Fund, 2014-2017). </titles/2595>.

To date, the following volumes of the 1st edition of the Collection have been corrected and are available in the main OLL collection:

The following are still being corrected and can be found in uncorrected form here:

We also have 3 volumes of additional material which will be added to the Second Edition of the Leveller Tracts collection. These are still being corrected.

2nd Revised Edition

A second revised edition of the collection is planned after the conversion of the texts has been completed. It will include an image of the title page of the original pamphlet, its location, date, and ID number in the Thomason Collection catalog, a brief bio of the author, and a brief description of the contents of the pamphlet. When the tract is comprised of more than one piece (the authors often added letters, copies of other petitions, or legal matter to their main piece) this will be indicated in the table of contents. Also, the titles from the addendum volumes will be merged into their relevant volumes by date of publication, so that the entire collection will be chronological order, the final version of which can be seen below.

We will also add links to other works which are already in the OLL Collection, such as

  • "The Putney Debates" (28 Oct. - 1 Nov. 1647) - The General Council of Officers at Putney. In Puritanism and Liberty, being the Army Debates (1647-9) from the Clarke Manuscripts with Supplementary Documents, selected and edited with an Introduction A.S.P. Woodhouse, foreword by A.D. Lindsay (University of Chicago Press, 1951). </titles/2183#lf1346_head_007>.
  • "The Whitehall Debates" (14 Dec, 1648 - 1 Jan. 1649), in Puritanism and Liberty, being the Army Debates (1647-9) from the Clarke Manuscripts and </titles/2183#lf1346_head_012>.
  • a selection of prose works by John Milton.

Henry Parker (1604-1652)

Henry Parker (1604-1652) was trained as a lawyer and became one of the leading pamphleteers on the side of Parliament during the Civil War. He favoured the idea of popular consent (as expressed through parliament) as the foundation of political sovereignty, a bicameral parliament, and strict limits on the power of the King. His writings influenced the Levellers but he ultimately did not join them as he objected to their desire for a broader extension of the franchise and their idea that parliament itself might be recalled or its authority challenged by the people. Parker held several posts as secretary to the Parliamentary army under the Earl of Essex (1642), to Parliament (1645), to the Merchant Adventurers guild of cloth exporters (1646), and to the army of Cromwell in Ireland (1649-52). He wrote pamphlets in which he opposed the King’s use in peace time of an old tax used to raise money in wartime (“shipmoney”), in which he argued that original power lay in the people and that “magistrates” (such as members of Parliament) could defend the people when their interests were violated by the king, and in which he defended the monopoly trading privileges of the Merchant Adventurers guild against criticism by free trade advocates.
