SIX HISTORIC AMERICANS. Large 12mo. Price, $1.25.
This work consists of two parts, “The Fathers of the Republic” and “The Saviors of Our Republic.” In regard to Paine’s religious views, Mr. Remsburg establishes the negative of the following: (1) Was Paine an Atheist? (2) Was he a Christian? (3) Did he recant? Page after page of the most radical Freethought sentiments are culled from the correspondence and other writings of Franklin and Jefferson, which show that these men were as pronounced in their rejection of Christianity as Paine and Ingersoll. That Washington was not a church communicant, nor even a believer in Christianity, is affirmed or admitted by more than a score of witnesses, one-half of them eminent clergymen, including the pastors of the churches which he with his wife attended. In support of Lincoln’s Infidelity, he has collected the testimony of more than one hundred witnesses. These witnesses include Mr. Lincoln’s wife; his three law partners, Maj. Stuart, Judge Logan and W. H. Herndon; his private secretaries, Colonel Nicolay and Col. Hay; his executor after death, Judge David Davis; many of his biographers, including his companion and confidant, Col. Lamon; his political advisers, Col. Matheny, Jesse W. Fell, and Dr. Jayne; members of his cabinet, and scores more of his most intimate friends and associates. The refutation of Grant’s alleged Christian belief is complete and the proofs of his unbelief are full and convincing.
