The Spirit of Laws: A Compendium of the First English Edition
Montesquieu's The Spirit of Laws is an enduring classic of social and political theory deserving a fresh reading every generation. The modern reader, however, is likely to find a work that ran to over a thousand pages in its two-volume first edition a bit overwhelming. Presented here, therefore, is the first English-language compendium of The Spirit of Laws, together with the first English translation of the posthumously published treatise containing the physiological theory underlying Montesquieu's theory of climate.

Dedicated to the works and world of Adam Smith.
#AdamSmith's Wealth of Nations was often compared to Montesquieu's The Spirit of Laws. This OLL Liberty Matters series investigates Montesquieu’s thinking on a small but important question: who gets to tell Nicolosa Sanuti (& others) what they can wear? https://t.co/mJqQSXj5VV
