Half-Hours With Freethinkers (1865)

Book Overview

Half-Hours With Freethinkers is a collection of essays written by John Watts and published in 1865. The book features biographical sketches of some of the most prominent freethinkers of the 18th and 19th centuries, including Voltaire, Thomas Paine, and Robert Owen. The essays explore their ideas and philosophies, as well as their impact on society and culture. Each chapter provides a brief overview of the life and work of the freethinker in question, followed by a selection of their writings or speeches. Watts himself was a freethinker and his book serves as both a celebration of the movement and a call to arms for those who share his beliefs. The book is a fascinating look into the history of freethought and the individuals who helped shape it.September 1, 1864 To February 9, 1865.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
