Prisoner for Blasphemy

PREFACE
15/15

What though I have suffered the heaviest punishment inflicted on a Freethinker for a hundred and twenty years?
Is not the night always darkest and coldest before the dawn?
Is not the tiger's dying spring most fierce and terrible?
My sufferings, therefore, are not without the balm of consolation.

I see that the future is already brightening with a new hope.

Without rising to the supreme height of Danton, who cried "Let my name be blighted that France be free," I feel a humbler pleasure in reflecting that I may have been instrumental in breaking the last fetter on the freedom of the press.
G.W.

FOOTE.
_February 1st_, 1886..
