Excerpt from Prison Books: And Their AuthorsThis selection of Prison Authors contains but a few names from the long list of the wife and good, whom the world has rewarded and honoured with persecution. Monarchs, statesmen, warriors, martyrs, poets, and philosophers are to be found on the bead-roll of prison history. Their names are almost legion. How to appreciate and treat its wisest children is a lesson the world is long in learning - has scarcely learned even yet. From time immemorial the prophet has been stoned, and from time immemorial gaols, stakes, and gibbets have been the crowns of glory awarded to those who have laboured to improve mankind, to increase knowledge, and to liberate truth. Such treatment has always failed in its object.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
