This is a collection of speeches and addresses from a convention of freethinkers that took place in Watkins, New York in 1878. The convention was organized by the New York Freethinker's Association, which was a group of atheists and secularists who advocated for the separation of church and state. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of freethought during the late 19th century.
