Description:

At this Web site you'll find a full text version of Henry David Thoreau
'Civil Disobedience.'

"In Thoreau's essay 'Civil Disobedience' (1849; originally titled
'Resistance to Civil Government'), Thoreau expounded his anarchistic
views of government, insisting that if an injustice of government is 'of
such a nature that it requires injustice to another [you should] break the
law [and] let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.'"
