Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Biographical Dictionary of Freethinkers of All Ages and Nations
John stuart MILL in his Autobiography declares with truth that the world would be astonished if it knew how great a proportion of its brightest ornaments, of those most distinguished even in popular estimation for wisdom and virtue are complete sceptics in religion. Many of these, as Mill points out, refrain from various motives from speaking out. The work I have undertaken will, I trust, do something to Show Low many of the world's worthiest men and women have been Freethinkers.
