The ethic of freethought; a selection of essays and lectures.

8vo. 446, [ads] 32 pp. Foxed. Blind-stamped blue cloth, gilt spine; rubbed. Very good. FIRST EDITION. "During 1880-1881 Pearson found diversion from his legal studies in lecturing on Martin Luther at Hampstead, and on socialism, Marx, and Lassalle at workingmen's clubs in Soho. In 1882-1884 he gave a number of courses of lectures around London on German social life and thought from the earliest times up to the sixteenth century, and on Luther's influence on the material and intellectual welfare of Germany. In addition he published in the Academy, Athenaeum, and elsewhere a substantial number of letters, articles, and reviews relating to Luther. Many of these were later republished, together with other lectures delivered between 1885-1887, in his The Ethic of Freethought (1888)." DSB, X, pp. 447-473. First Edition.
