A Description of the Famous Kingdome of Macaria is a work of utopian fiction, published in England in 1641.
It carried the name of Samuel Hartlib, who published it, but is now attributed to Gabriel Plattes.
[2] Hugh Trevor-Roper takes it to be an important formulation of the ultimate political ambitions of Hartlib and his followers (and in particular John Dury), in the form of a reformed Christian society and welfare state.
It covers the issues of economic development, taxation and education.
[3] Much of the content drew on Henry Robinson's Englands Safety from earlier in the same year.
