A Description of the Famous Kingdome of Macaria

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.
