Ch. of Gooch II Political Thought in England from Bacon to
Halifax is a brief, but good, discussion of Hobbes's theories. A
short analysis is also contained in an essay by E. L. Woodward in
"Hearnshaw", The Social and Political Ideas of Some Great Thinkers
of the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries, where also may be
found a worthwhile essay on Spinoza by A. D. Lindsay. A more
lengthy account thereof, sound but somewhat pedestrian, is to be
found in W. Graham, English Political Philosophy from Hobbes to
Maine. Lord H. R. The Principles of Politics, which analyzes
dominant trends in seventeenth and eighteenth century thought
topically and critically, has much that is valuable on Hobbes's ideas,
particularly of the contract and of sovereignty. C. E. Vaughan
Studies in the History of Political Philosophy, of which the first vol-
ume is devoted mainly to social contract theories, contains in Ch. II
thereof a good analysis of this aspect of Hobbes's thought. For a
criticism of Hobbes's theory of political obligation, as devastating as
it is short, the student should consult E. F. Carritt Morals and
Politics.

Of books on Hobbes, G. E. G. Catlin Thomas Hobbes as
Philosopher is a short introductory sketch by an admirer and dis-
ciple of the philosopher of Malmesbury. Larger works are Sir L. Stephen's
Hobbes in the "English Men of Letters" series--an excel-
lent work, and G. C. Robertson Thomas Hobbes, a very valuable
biography. Hobbes Leviathan itself is readily obtainable in the
"Everyman" series. His other works are less available, though F.
Tönnies, a distinguished German student of Hobbes, has had print-
ed his Elements of Law. The great edition, however, is that of
Molesworth ( 16 volumes), which includes both the English and the
Latin works. Leviathan, it might be added, contains some of the
most forceful prose to be found in political philosophy, and the
student would be well advised to read at least considerable parts
of it.
