Flowers of Freethought by George William Foote.

Preface.

Heinrich Heine called himself a soldier in the army of human liberation.

But at the same time, very loving mother, very loving grandmother, very caring uncles and aunts who saw him through all of his, essentially his entire life.

uh both financially and emotionally to some extent um but yeah he this from family um religiously conservative uh but their business you know there's a sort of famous i mean nothing about newberg is really famous except for the algerian desert um but uh but there's a sort of famous story within the newberg biography circles that um his family's business was located i believe it's borough high street just over the river in south london and Near there was the offices to one of the big freethought journals, newspapers of the time.

So the Freethinker and the Agnostic Journal were the two that he really latched onto early.

So this is, he was at late teens, I believe, when he sort of saw these, and completely obsessed with literature, by the way, already, from a very early age, voracious reader.

But he saw this, you know, he saw these offices and began to learn what free thought was.

So when do they meet? What's their situation?

So like I said, he met JFC Fuller, I'm pretty sure, at Saladin's funeral.

And I think Newberg's name probably was known to some of that circle already through his byline in the Freethinker and Agnostic Journal.
