Abrasions of binding, numerous rust spots on pages, traces of flooding, underlining and notations in pencil. Karol Libelt's political writings focus on the concept of the nation as a higher idea than the state, which is based on harmony and the national spirit, and not only on law and political structures. In his thoughts can be found a combination of Christian ideas and the concept of fighting for freedom, which led to deep reflection on the role of the nation in the world. Contents include: On civil courage; On love of the fatherland; Ideas on the education of the people; The Mexican War with the United States; Pauperism; Democracy, demagoguery, aristocracy; Reform Judaism; On the political importance of women; and others.
