About the online edition

The Internet Wiretap online edition was scanned from Volume 25 of the Harvard Classics, the P.F. Collier & Son 1909 edition, by dell@wiretap.spies.com and was mechanically checked against a commercial copy of the text from CDROM. Differences were corrected against the paper edition. The text itself is thus a highly accurate rendition. This text is in the PUBLIC DOMAIN, released September 1993.

This Serendipity online edition of On Liberty was copied verbatim from the Internet Wiretap online edition at gopher://wiretap.Spies.COM:70/00/Library/Classic/liberty.jsm and was put into HTML and uploaded to this website by Peter Meyer on 1997-11-29. On 2004-03-07 the original 282 Kb HTML page was divided so that each chapter is on one web page.
