A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This little volume tells a strange and painful story ;strange, because the experiences of a prisoner for blasphemy are only known to three living Englishmen ;and painfuly because their unmerited sufferings are a sad reflection on the boasted freedom of our age. My own share in this misfortune is all I could pretend to describe with fidelity. Without (I hope) any meretricious display of fine writing, I have related the facts of my case, giving a precise account of my prosecutions, and as vivid a narrative as memory allows of my imprisonment inH olloway Gaol. I have striven throughout to be truthful and accurate, nothing extenuating, nor setting down aught in malice ;and I have tried to hit the happy mean between negligence and prolixity. Whether or not I have succeeded in the second respect the reader must be the judge ;and if he cannot be so in the former respect, he will at least be able to decide whether the writer means to be candid smd bears the appearance of honesty. One reason why I have striven to be exact is that my record may be of service to the future historian of our time.
