Excerpt from The Oracle of Reason, or Philosophy Vindicated, Vol. 1
The present age needed a few examples of sterling integrity and unflinching courage. Southwell and holyoake have furnished two, that will not soon be forgotten, and must fire every manly heart with a spirit of noble emulation. Southwell, single-handed, attacked the monster, superstition, in its very den. He challenged the big beast to mortal combat, and, though a prisoner, not a bone of his body is broken, not a drop Of his blood chilled, and now, as at first, his resolution is to destroy or be destroyed. Imprisonment will but give him ample leisure to grind his weapons, and train his body for another and more decisive encounter.
