related texts, is the first modern edition of Molesworth's
writings. This volume presents not only "An Account", a text that
for most of the eighteenth century was recognized as one of the
canonical works of Whiggism, but also his "Francogallia and Some
Considerations for the Promoting of Agriculture and Employing the
Poor". Taken in their totality, these important texts encompass
Molesworth's major political statements on liberty as well as his
important and understudied recommendations for the application of
liberty to economic improvement.

In "An Account of Denmark," "Robert Molesworth famously
diagnosed the causes of a disordered commonwealth," writes Champion
in the introduction. "Unlike the reception of Locke, Molesworth's
writings provided insight into processes of corruption rather than
simply a set of prescriptive juristic values. In the "Account of
Denmark," especially, Molesworth established how tyranny worked,
identifying the contaminating ideologies and institutions."
Robert Molesworth (1656-1725) was an Irish politician and
