THE LEVELLERS:
A CHRONOLOGY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY
By Roderick Moore
The members of the political movement known to history as the
Levellers
were active for four years in the 1640s, during the English Civil
War.
They were far ahead of their time in their political thinking, and
they
may justly be called the first libertarians in the world. There is
an
extensive literature about them, but most of it has been written by
socialists, and some of the most highly regarded authorities are
Marxists, so the reader can easily gain a false impression of what
the
movement stood for.
This Study Guide is designed to direct students of history to the
most
reliable sources of information on the Levellers, and also to
indicate
where some of the Levellers' own writings can be found reprinted, so
that they can be judged by their own words rather than by the
distortions of socialist historians. At a time when our national
independence is threatened by the advance of federalism, it is more
important than ever for us to be conscious of our political heritage,
and the Levellers are a crucial part of this heritage which should
not
be neglected.

The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking
new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
The Buddha on Belief, from the Kalama Sutta

A merely fallen enemy may rise again, but the reconciled

It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that
prevents us from living freely and nobly. -Bertrand Russell
