DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Charles Bradlaugh, Vol. 1: A Sketch of His Life and Work During the past four or five years her sympathies have led her to take views of the remedies for social misery in which I cannot concur; and she has found guidance to a mysticism which seems to me unsound and unreal. But of this I am sure, that, with Lessing, she always seeks for truth, and will never hesitate, whatever the personal consequence, to proclaim in turn each truth she thinks she has found. This Character Sketch, written by her when the grave had but closed over Mr. Bradlaugh, does not profess to be an impartial summing up of his life's work. Partisan journalists of the baser sort have done their worst for years to defile this man's name, and to represent him as a kind of unclean Yahoo, full of blasphemy and sedition. Mrs. Besant's picture, painted from life, comes as a useful corrective to the malignant attacks of bigoted opponents. No doubt Mr. Bradlaugh said very much that was painful, even revolting, to the reverent mind. But what Christian is there who, on reading over the shameful story of intolerance with which Mr. Bradlaugh was treated, does not feel that the responsibility for much that was most deplorable in Mr. Bradlaugh's teaching, lies at the door, not of the Freethinker, but of the un-Christlike Christian of our time. That this resolute soul lived and died doing so much good work for the poor and the oppressed, although without the conscious inspiration of Christianity, should surely not be reckoned so much a reproach to him as to those blind leaders of the blind, whose bigotry and stupidity drove him outside the fold.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Life of Charles Bradlaugh, M. P When the subject of this Memoir heard of its preparation, and was questioned in regard to it, he replied in his journal that no "authorised" version of his life was in the press. If this sketch have any special value, it may be found to lie in the fact that it is not "authorised," as all previous biographies or auto-biographies of Mr Bradlaugh have been, but perfectly discriminating, absolutely fearless, and thoroughly independent. Whatever may be the faults of the performance I now place before the public, I have nought extenuated and nought set down in malice. I never met Mr Bradlaugh in my life, and, for aught I know, he is unaware even of the existence of such a person as myself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Late Charles Bradlaugh In issuing a catalogue of my father's books it has been our aim, not merely to publish a descriptive list of the volumes contained in the library in order to facilitate their sale, but to make it somewhat of a memento of Mr. Bradlaugh himself. With that object we have added a facsimile of his autograph, and a reduced reproduction of one of the two very fine photographs of the study taken last May by Messrs. Dixon of Albany Street, N. W. My father's books were very dear to him, and had always been so, from the time when as a dragoon he was able to carry the whole of his library in his soldier's knapsack, until the day of his death, when his literary possessions had outgrown all ordinary-sized rooms, and had even swelled beyond the capacity of his work-room at Circus Road. They numbered in all rather over 7,000 volumes, about 3,000 Blue Books, besides a very large number of unbound pamphlets. In many respects the library is essentially a poor man's library. There are only a few rare bindings, and comparatively few costly "first editions"; now and again there is a volume missing from a set, and here and there a title page is wanting. But, such as they are, he valued them, all and every one Twice within recent years he thought he should be obliged to sell them to meet legal expenses - the first time it was to pay Government costs during his Parliamentary struggle, the second occasion was after the Peters and Kelly case.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Reminiscences of Charles Bradlaugh When I came to London, in January, 1868, I was eighteen years of age. I had plenty of health and very little religion. While in my native town of Plymouth I had read and thought for myself, and had gradually passed through various stages of scepticism, until I was dissatisfied even with the advanced Unitarianism of a preacher like the Rev. J. K. Applebee. But I could not find any literature in advance of his position, and there was no one of whom I could inquire. Secularism and Atheism I had never heard of in any definite way, although I remember, when a little. Boy, having an Atheist pointed out to me in the street. Naturally I regarded him as a terrible monster. I did not know what Atheism was except in a very vague way; but I inferred from the tones, expressions, and gestures of those who pointed him out to me, that an Atheist was a devil in human form.
