From his idea of translating the Brockhaus encyclopedia into English sprang the first edition of The Encyclopaedia Americana (13 vol., 1829-33), which he edited. Lieber was professor of history and political economy (1835-56) at South Carolina College (now Univ. of South Carolina). While there he wrote the books that established his reputation as a political philosopher— A Manual of Political Ethics (1838), Essays on Property and Labor (1841), and On Civil Liberty and Self-Government (1853).
