Nobody's perfect : a new Whig interpretation of history

An account of liberal thought from its roots in 17th-century English thinking to the end of the 18th century. The author rescues the term "Whig" from the low regard attached to it, and argues that although Whigs may have strayed from liberal principles on occasion, many were true progressives.
