Areopagitica: A Speech to the Parliament of England for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing (Classic Reprint)1kg Limited, 2018 M04 19 - 220 pages Excerpt from Areopagitica: A Speech to the Parliament of England for the Liberty of Unlicensed Printing; With Introduction, Full d104, Notes and Appendix IN preparing this edition of Milton's Areopagit/ica, every care has been taken to provide help for the young student Whose experience of the masterpieces of English Literature has yet to ripen. For this reason references to illustrative passages from other writers have been as limited as possible, and such only are quoted as the student may reasonably be expected to have met. The numerous references to classical writers, particularly to those of Greece, have caused the addition of a brief re'sume of the history of Greek philosophy, which should prove a useful addition. The text has been carefully modernised in spelling and in punctuation from Arber's Reprint, of which a page has been reproduced, in order that the student may form some acquaintance with the spelling of the time.
