About This Item
Boston: Press of Geo. H. Ellis, 101 Milk Street, 1880. 1st ed. Paperback. Very Good. 59p. Softcover in original gray wrapper. 23 cm. Cover edges slightly soiled and has a chipped corner. Small stain on back cover. Abbot had left, or been forced to leave, the Unitarian ministry before becoming editor of The Index, a major freethought journal. This volume includes numerous speeches and letters of support. Most notable is a letter from Frederick Douglass which celebrates Abbot's "personal rectitude" and his "efforts to break the fetters of religious superstition." Other letters from those unable to attend include Samuel Longfellow (a prominent transcendalist Unitarian minister who was also Henry's youngest brother and one of his biographers), Felix Adler, Moncure D. Conway, George J. Holyoake and many others.
