Flowers Of Freethought Classic Reprint

'Flowers of Freethought (Second Series)' is a provocative and insightful collection of essays by G. W. Foote, a well-known freethinker and writer. This book challenges the status quo by presenting a powerful critique of religion, exploring topics like the Jewish Sabbath, Christian charity, and the notion of immortality.
