COURTNEY, MRS JANET ELIZABETH (HOGARTH). Freethinkers of the nineteenth century. il *$6 Dutton 274.2
(Eng ed 20–12144)
“A cross section of English intellectual life as it reflected the new tendencies is presented in a biographical study of seven outstanding personages of the period by Janet E. Courtney in ‘Freethinkers of the nineteenth century.’ The seven are Frederick Denison Maurice, Matthew Arnold, Charles Bradlaw, Thomas Henry Huxley, Leslie Stephen, Harriet Martineau and Charles Kingsley, the last included rather as an associate of free thinkers and a sympathizer with them than as one actually of their number. The author in a preface explains the selection as promoted by recollection of youthful impressions of the controversies in many fields of intellectual activity.”—Springf’d Republican
