The book "Letter to Sir Samuel Shepard, Licensed Crown Prosecutor on the Prosecution of Richard Carlyle for Publishing Thomas Paine's Age of Reason" is an important historical document exposing political repression and censorship in the 19th century. The author falsely presents himself as "unnamed", but his penetrating and demanding arguments against the persecution of freedom of speech leave the reader with wonder and thought. This book is relevant even in modern times, reminding us of the importance of freedom of expression and the absence of censorship in a democratic society.
