Synopsis

Excerpt from Flowers of Freethought

As I said in the former Preface, I refrain from personalities, which is all that can be demanded of a fair controversialist. There are sentences, and perhaps passages, in this volume, that some people will not like; but they are about things that I do not like. A propagandist should use his pen as a weapon rather than a fencing foil. At any rate, my style is my own; it is copied from no model, or set of models; although I confess to a predilection for the old forthright literature of England, before fine writing was invented, or parliamentary eloquence came into vogue, or writers were anxious to propitiate an imaginary critic at their elbows - the composite ghost, as it were, of all the ignor'amuses, prigs, bigots, fools, and cowards on this planet.
