Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Anarchists: Their Faith and Their Record, Including Sidelights on the Royal and Other Personages Who Have Been Assassinated
In several respects Ball's teaching was distinctly of an Anarchist character; Preaching the establishment of a new order of things founded on social equality, he denounced and rejected all laws, and declared every person who upheld them to be a public enemy. In his opinion it was not sufficient for the rebels to kill the Lords of the kingdom, they must also kill all the lawyers -advice which the insurgents were quite willing to follow - and although the men of the law often managed to save themselves by flight, it is Said that every time the rebels were able to identify a lawyer's house on their way towards London, they destroyed it.
