Thank you for this as it reminds me I want to start collecting classics and other great books to have for the next generation . Over the years moving or preparing room for children I’ve let go of truckloads of books ..it’s time to start growing a shelf or two of great reads in case we ever have down time with a kerosine lamp lol
Lockwood's book "1900: Or, The Last President", begins on November 3, 1896, which is 120 years prior to Trump's election and 120 years after America declared its independence.
"Contents include: "A Proem; Superstition; The Cult of the Immortal Human; Poems of the Cult of the Immortal Human." From cover: "There is but one form of human enslavement more villainous and detestable than the chains of the tyrant or the shackles of the despot. That is the enslavement of the human mind under ecclesiastical tyranny. Whose cowering and crouching victims at the crack of the priestly lash are driven from the cultivation of their own intelligence, from the custody of their own thoughts, from the guardianship of their own souls. And who, like whipt dogs, trembling and whining in abject submission at the feet of the oppressor, lick the very hand that wields the lash. I'm well aware what a thankless task it is to attack the established order of things, theological, political or ethical, for in my long life I have often heard raised the old cry in different form: Great is Diana of the Ephesians! but I make no excuse or apology for this little book." - Ingersoll Lockwood 46 pages

Well this looks intriguing:

"And who, like whipt dogs, trembling and whining in abject submission at the feet of the oppressor, lick the very hand that wields the lash"
Crazy, isn't it?
I just read through the Last President the other day, but never heard of this one. looks interesting, thanks for sharing.
From the description this book has nothing to do with any time travel or Trump related content and everything to do with Religion bashing.
