The book ""The Letters of Algernon Sydney, In Defense of Civil Liberty and Against the Encroachments of Military Despotism"" by Benjamin W. Leigh is a collection of letters written by Algernon Sydney, a prominent English politician and philosopher in the 17th century. The letters are a defense of civil liberties and a critique of the growing power of military despotism in England during the reigns of Charles II and James II. Sydney's letters provide insight into the political and philosophical debates of his time, and offer a passionate defense of individual freedom and the rule of law. The book is edited and introduced by Benjamin W. Leigh, who provides historical context and analysis of Sydney's arguments.
