Book excerpt: Charles Bradlaugh, (1833 -- 1891), British radical and atheist, a freethinker in the tradition of Voltaire and Thomas Paine, prominent throughout most of the second half of the 19th century for his championship of individual liberties.From 1874 to about 1885 he was closely associated with Annie Besant, an advocate of numerous radical causes. In 1876 the Bristol publisher of Fruits of Philosophy, a birth-control pamphlet by Charles Knowlton, a physician in the United States, was given a light sentence for selling an indecent work. To vindicate their ideas of freedom, Bradlaugh and Besant republished the book in London in 1877 and circulated it aggressively, incurring much more severe penalties. Their indictments were nullified on a technical point, however.(The Editors of Encyclopædia Britannica)

Book excerpt: "This is the book the of which, in England, caused the arrest of Mr. Bradlaugh and Mrs. Besant. 125,000 copies sold in three months after their arrest. It should be read by everyone." -The Evolutionists, 1882 "Just ninety-nine years before the Linda Lovelace trial re-tickled the British public's fancy for a striptease in the Law Courts, a similar 'outrage' was up for prosecution. That offending publication...set out merely to make clear the facts of reproduction and the advantages of birth-control... Originally published in America in 1832, its author, Charles Knowlton, was imprisoned for his efforts. Forty years later Charles and Annie, knowing the risks they took, republished the Pamphlet believing 'it was . . . a crime to bring into the world human beings doomed to misery and premature death', and 'the checks that ought to control the population are scientific'. They updated the pamphlet. Its recommendations (including innocent sponges attached to long ribbons) were explicit. They were tried, defending themselves, before the Lord Chief Justice.... Fortunately the major part of the book consists of the trial itself, so that the fine characters of Annie and Charles appear through their own words. But the couple were found guilty, their pamphlet was 'calculated to deprave public morals.'" -The Spectator Contents PUBLISHERS' PREFACE PHILOSOPHICAL PROEM FRUITS OF PHILOSOPHY CHAPTER I.

Download or read book An Infidel Body snatcher and the Fruits of His Philosophy written by Dan Allosso and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Infidel Body-Snatcher and the Fruits of His Philosophy is the story of a freethinker. Charles Knowlton called himself a "free enquirer"-his enemies called him an "Infidel." Knowlton was also a "Body-Snatcher." As a medical student, Charles Knowlton stole corpses to dissect. Charles was caught and convicted, and served time in jail. After a troubled youth, Knowlton became a doctor and wrote America's first birth control book, Fruits of Philosophy, in 1831. He was convicted and imprisoned for that as well-this time with hard labor. Charles was an outsider for most of his life, fighting religious and social conformity. This is a true story about why outsiders are important, and what they can achieve. Growing up surrounded by superstition and hypocrisy, Charles developed an unswerving dedication to finding and telling the truth. If the truth he'd found was opposed by authorities in the church and government, Charles went ahead and told it anyway. This is a true story about the power of integrity. It's also an adventure story, full of conflict, drama, humor, and a little horror. Charles Knowlton led an unusual life; it gave him a radical outlook and led him to develop a unique personal philosophy. But it was what Charles did with this outlook-the fruits of his philosophy-that really mattered. This is a true story about how experiences become ideas, and how ideas become actions. WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING? "The prose is so smooth and conversational that the text sails on by. And what you're writing ABOUT is so valuable and timely that to make it as accessible as you do is a real service to our culture. If 'culture WAR' is an accurate description of what's going on, then this is powerful weapon for the good guys." ---Terry Davis, Author of Vision Quest "Charles Knowlton, doctor, freethinker, and early advocate of contraception, is best remembered for his manual on birth control, 'The Fruits of Philosophy', which appeared in 1832 and which led to his prosecution and imprisonment. This superb biography of Knowlton by Dan Allosso, the first ever to be published, is based on the most thorough research and written with admirable clarity and understanding. This is a biography to be enjoyed by every lover of freethought." ---Bryan Niblett, Author of Dare to Stand Alone: The Story of Charles Bradlaugh "This is really great. I love reading about my home town -- no one ever writes about Greenfield, Massachusetts. And I love the rich guy excommunicating the church. How hip is that?" ---Penn Jillette, Author of God, No! "History isn't always made by Great Persons engineering Great Compromises. Sometimes society moves forward because a common man or woman takes up a radical cause and pursues it without regard to consequences. Charles Knowlton was such a man, undeservedly ignored by mainstream historians. Dan Allosso's capable new biography of Knowlton illuminates the promise - and the pitfalls - of radical social change pursued from society's rank and file." ---Tom Flynn, Editor, FREE INQUIRY Magazine "An interesting, engaging, and at times fascinating account of a little-known American hero. Dan Allosso has soundly crafted an excellent biography." ---Phil Zuckerman, PhD, Author of Faith No More: Why People Reject Religion
Download or read book Reproductive Physiology and Birth Control written by S. Chandrasekhar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-27 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I say that this is a dirty, filthy book, and the test of it is that no human being would allow that book on his table, no decently educated English husband would allow even his wife to have ità." Such was the uncompromising pronouncement of Sir Hardinge Gifford, Her Majesty's Solicitor General, who in 1877 prosecuted Charles Bradlaugh and Annie Besant for publishing Dr. Charles Knowlton's Fruits of Philosophy.Knowlton's work was the first American medical handbook on contraception. It had become an incredibly popular book among Britons who believed the neo-Malthusian dictum that the only solution to poverty in Britain was a limit on the growth of its population. They saw effective birth control measures as a way to make such a limit practicable. In 1877, its publisher was hauled into court and pleaded guilty to printing obscene material. Bradlaugh and Besant tested the right of official harassment by bringing out an edition of the Fruits of Philosophy that bore an introduction explaining their motives. The pair was arrested and charged with violating the Obscene Publications Act of 1857.Their arrest, trial, conviction, and eventual acquittal constitute a landmark in the history of the world birth control movement. The enormous publicity accorded the principals and their cause brought the subject of family planning into the homes of nearly every Briton who read the newspapers' sensational coverage. What followed thereafter is telling: a dramatic, steady decline in the English birthrate. By their simple act of publishing Knowlton's short book, Bradlaugh and Besant helped establish England's pioneering role in the dissemination, democratization, and implementation of birth control information.Sripati Chandrasekhar is an internationally respected demographer and social scientist. He is a former minister of health and family planning in India and was vice-chancellor of Annamalai University in South India. He is the author of numerous books and articles on population and family planning.

Download or read book Fruits of Sorrow written by Elizabeth V. Spelman and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 1998-07-31 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a remarkable blend of intellectual history, philosophical reading, and contemporary cultural analysis, Fruits of Sorrow explores the hidden dynamics at work when we try to make sense of suffering. Spelman examines the complex ways in which we try to redeem the pain we cause and witness. She also shows the way our responses are often more than they seem: how compassion can mask condescension; how identifying with others' pain often slips into illicit appropriation; how pity can reinforce the unequal relationship between those who cause and those who endure suffering.
Download or read book Fruits and Plains written by Philip J. Pauly and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The engineering of plants has a long history on this continent. Fields, forests, orchards, and prairies are the result of repeated campaigns by amateurs, tradesmen, and scientists to introduce desirable plants, both American and foreign, while preventing growth of alien riff-raff. These horticulturists coaxed plants along in new environments and, through grafting and hybridizing, created new varieties. Over the last 250 years, their activities transformed the American landscape. "Horticulture" may bring to mind white-glove garden clubs and genteel lectures about growing better roses. But Philip J. Pauly wants us to think of horticulturalists as pioneer "biotechnologists," hacking their plants to create a landscape that reflects their ambitions and ideals. Those standards have shaped the look of suburban neighborhoods, city parks, and the "native" produce available in our supermarkets. In telling the histories of Concord grapes and Japanese cherry trees, the problem of the prairie and the war on the Medfly, Pauly hopes to provide a new understanding of not only how horticulture shaped the vegetation around us, but how it influenced our experiences of the native, the naturalized, and the alien--and how better to manage the landscapes around us.
