"Essay On Civil Policy, Or The Science Of Legislation" by Charles Putt is a comprehensive treatise on political theory and public policy, originally published in 1830. Divided into two parts and multiple books, it explores various aspects of governance, including forms of government, suffrage, judicial and executive powers, prerogative, religion, law, property, population, wealth, industry, and commerce, with a strong focus on reforming English law and public institutions. The author advocates for universal suffrage conditioned on basic literacy, the abolition of primogeniture, free trade, and critiques monopolies, tithes, and excessive state prerogatives. Putt emphasizes educational and social reforms aimed at enhancing population, wealth, and happiness, addressing topics such as punishment, criminal justice, and the prevention of crime through virtue and policy rather than punitive measures. The work draws on classical authorities and contemporary political economy to promote a rational, humane constitution and a more just political order.
