[Roscoe]

"the notion of a higher law above municipal codes, with which Whiggism [libertarianism] began, is the supreme achievement of Englishmen and their bequest to the nation"

The actual quote:

"the notion of a higher law above municipal codes, with which Whiggism began, is the supreme achievement of Englishmen and their bequest to the nation."

At post 22, Hayek is quoted as not being happy with the currently used name 'libertarian' to discribe his political stance; - he says:
-- "Whiggism is historically the correct name for the ideas in which I believe."

-- Thus, - Hayek was a libertarian, but disliked the term.
