Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the events leading up to the death of Elijah P. Lovejoy, the first martyr in America to the principles of freedom of speech and press. The author, an eyewitness to many of the events, provides a detailed and impartial account of the destruction of four printing presses in succession, the personal abuse of the editor, and his final and premeditated murder. He also examines the events in light of natural justice, God, and the principles of wisdom, prudence and benevolence. Through this examination, the author provides a deep and resounding rebuke of the base subterfuge and guilty excuse that the murder was a justifiable reaction to Lovejoyâs imprudence and indiscretion. This book is a valuable historical document that sheds light on a dark period in American history and raises important questions about the limits of free speech and the dangers of mob violence.
