"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"
