The Plebeians (1719)

Richard Steele,Robert Benson Bingley

The Plebeians is a book written by Richard Steele in 1719. It is a political pamphlet that addresses the grievances of the lower classes in England, known as the plebeians, and advocates for their rights and representation in government. Steele argues that the plebeians are essential to the functioning of society and should not be treated as inferior to the aristocracy. He criticizes the corrupt political system of his time and calls for reform to ensure that the voices of the common people are heard. The Plebeians is an important work in the history of English political thought and a precursor to the democratic ideals that would shape modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
