John Milton's "Areopagitica" (1644) was a plea to the English Parliament arguing the case for freedom of the press (printing). He argued for the repeal of the requirement, introduced the previous year, requiring books to be licensed by an official censor before being printed. It is one of the earliest cases made for freedom of the press.
