Charles Bradlaugh

[Free Thought] A Few Words About the Devil, and Other Biographical Sketches and Essays

New York: Charles P. Somerby, 1875. Very Good. Item #11326

New York: Charles P. Somerby, 1875. Second U.S. Edition. Octavo. Mixed pagination; advertisements at rear. Blue moire cloth stamped in black and gilt.

A series of essays from the English political activist, atheist, and founder of the National Secular Society. Includes "A Plea for Atheism," "Poverty," and several critical biographical sketches of biblical figures, such as David and Jonah, all peppered with Bradlaugh's trademark colorful language and strong though well-reasoned arguments, appropriate for his pseudeonym, "Iconoclast."

Boards worn with brief exposure; binding shaken but holding. A few stray marks to the interior, but overall legible thorughout. A very good copy of a book scarce in retail at the time of this writing.
