Forsskal's Thoughts on Civil Liberty

Peter Forsskal's "Tankar Om Borgerliga Friheten" was published by Lars Salvius in Stockholm on 23rd Novemeber, 1759.

A group of expert Swedes has produced the first-ever translation of the pamphlet into English, as "Thoughts on Civil Liberty".

Working from Forssksal's original, uncensored manuscript, located in the Swedish National Archives, the translation and a commentary will be published as a booklet by Atlantis Books (Stockholm) and launched 250 years on, at an event in the Old Parliament in Stockholm on November 18th 2009.
