Excerpt from The Oracle of Reason, or Philosophy Vindicated, Vol. 2
As an original proprietor with southwell of the Oracle, during its publication in Bristol, and from the circumstance of every number in the two volumes having been printed under my superintendence, I am enabled to state its history with some degree of accuracy, and this I purpose doing as briefly as possible, before I close this volume, and my little favourite is numbered with the things that have been.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the *Oracle of Reason*, a radical publication that advocated for atheism during a period of intense religious persecution in England. The book delves into the publication's turbulent history, tracing its origins in Bristol to its eventual demise, and the legal battles its editors faced. This fascinating account is presented within the context of the 19th-century struggles for freedom of expression, where atheism was widely considered a dangerous and subversive belief system. The author provides a firsthand account of the difficulties faced by those who dared to challenge established religious norms, highlighting the courage of individuals who were willing to defy societal pressures and face imprisonment for their convictions. The book examines the social and political climate of the time, revealing how religion was intertwined with the power structures of the day, used as a tool to control and manipulate the masses. The book's insights into the power dynamics between religion and secular thought provide a compelling glimpse into a pivotal moment in the history of freethinking.
