ABSTRACT
Owing to the decease of lamented friend, Mr. G. H. Reddalls, it was considered necessary to dispose of the plant and copyright of the Secular Chronicle. As opportunity offers there will be delineated in the pages of the Secular Chronicle the brilliant wit of a Voltaire, the sterling common sense of a Paine, the uncompromising courage of a Carlisle, the patient endurance of a Hetherington, the scathing sarcasm of a Southwell, the loving kindness of an Owen, the profound logic of a Mill, with the glorious poesy of a Pope, a Byron, and a Shelley. The highest and broadest kind of co-operation, as embodied in the communistic system of Robert Owen, will be maintained, as calculated to promote the mutual benefit of all—to destroy those monstrous combinations of caste and capital which enslave the many to the few, and mar the true peace and purity of the whole human family.
