Sunday Evening, January 11, 1874, by Victoria C Woodhull. I appear before you to-night to speak of a subject whuch, more than any other, ought to commend the attention of the enlightened world; but which, more than any other, percieves the anathemas of its professed representatives--the so-called Christians--because forsoth, to discuss it is to attach, necessarily, one of the chief pillars of the Christian edifice. Subject involves the necessity of free speech, in plain terms. John Stuart Mill.
