 Individualism, A Reader, edited by George H. Smith and Marilyn Moore, narrated by James Foster. Preface This book is a collection of writings by defenders of individualism. Some major critics of individualism are discussed in the introduction. All selections, documents, are in the public domain. Some of the writers included here, such as J. S. Mill and Oscar Wilde, are generally known, whereas others, such as Lisander Spooner and Auburn Herbert, are known mainly to libertarians. We have included some obscure authors, such as Henry Wilson, because we think their writings have considerable merit and deserve to be more widely read. A number of our selections have never appeared in previous anthologies, therefore even readers familiar with the literature on individualism will probably find something new in this reader. This is the first in a series of readers to be published by Libertarianism.org. We wish to thank Aaron Powell of the Cato Institute for his support and encouragement. We also wish to thank Dr. Daniel E. Cullen and Mrs. Paula Bramson Cullen of the Chicago-based Opportunity Foundation. This has been Individualism, A Reader, edited by George H.
