Excerpt from Religious Liberty
An English historian who devoted his life to the study of the history of liberty spoke of "the dreary and heartbreaking course by which men have passed to freedom." No problem is more intricate than to trace, mark by mark, the footsteps on that weary road; and we shall only succeed in reconstructing the itinerary by investigations restricted on one hand to particular periods, and on the other to particular aspects. Professor Ruffini has limited himself to showing how the theory of religious liberty originated and developed, and how it was realised by legislation, whether fully or in the various defective forms of toleration. He excludes the painful story of persecution and keeps his eyes fixed on the positive advance, only touching on repression so far as is necessary to make the advance intelligible. He excludes the part played by rationalistic thought. He does not essay the baffling task of measuring the growth of a tolerant public opinion. He traces the direct threads which wound to so many places from Socinus, but he abstains from examining the side-influences which impinged at every point, strengthening or weakening the cord. It is significant that Hobbes, for instance, and Diderot are barely mentioned, and that Shaftesbury is not mentioned at all. It is due to these carefully considered limitations that the author has succeeded in producing such a satisfactory and illuminating contribution to the history of liberty.
