Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Man Who Can
Socrates, whose sayings, recorded by Plato, have been treasured through the centuries as the beginning of wisdom, was condemned as a Corruptor of the Youth! John the Baptist paid with his life for the privilege of denouncing wickedness! The spirit of religious liberty rose with the soul of John Huss from the flames that con sumed his body. The pretenses of royalty and the doctrine of the divine right of kings were successfully maintained for centuries against every species of argument, but they have never recovered from the violence done them by a Napoleon, who from the humblest origin made himself the master of kings.
