ABSTRACT

The pamphlet which the author presents to the public is one which has been lately prosecuted under Lord Campbell's Act, and which republish in order to test the right of publication. It was originally written by Charles Knowlton, M.D., an American physician, whose degree entitles him to be heard with respect on a medical question. It was first published in England, about forty years ago, by James Watson, the gallant Radical who came to London and took up Richard Carlile's work when Carlile was in jail. Republish this pamphlet, honestly believing that on all questions affecting the happiness of the people whether they be theological, political, or social, fullest right of free discussion ought to be maintained at all hazards. Old Radicals will remember that Richard Carlile published a work entitled "Every Woman's Book," which deals with the same subject, and advocates the same object, as Dr. Knowlton's pamphlet.
