About This Book

The volume continues a biographical account of a prominent 19th-century freethinker, recounting his later lecture tours in the United States, collaborative and legal conflicts surrounding the distribution of a controversial birth-control pamphlet with a fellow reformer, and the repeated prosecutions and courtroom battles that followed. It documents his leadership in secularist organisations, public debates, and peace demonstrations, and includes a critical study of his philosophy and political positions—on atheism, materialism, republicanism, neo-Malthusianism, land reform, and India—alongside a chronological narrative of his prolonged parliamentary struggle over oath and affirmation, closing with his final years and personal reflections.
