The True Story Of My Parliamentary Struggle is a book written by Charles Bradlaugh, a prominent British atheist and political activist in the late 19th century. The book details Bradlaugh's personal and political journey as he fought for the right to take his seat in the British Parliament as an atheist.Bradlaugh was elected to Parliament in 1880, but his refusal to swear an oath on the Bible prevented him from taking his seat. Despite numerous attempts to find a compromise, Bradlaugh was repeatedly denied the right to take his seat, leading to a long and bitter legal battle.The book provides a detailed account of Bradlaugh's struggle, including his numerous attempts to take his seat, his legal battles in the courts, and his eventual victory in 1886 when he was finally allowed to take his seat in Parliament.In addition to his parliamentary struggle, the book also explores Bradlaugh's broader political and social activism, including his support for women's rights, his opposition to imperialism, and his advocacy for secularism and rationalism.Overall, The True Story Of My Parliamentary Struggle is a fascinating account of one man's fight for his beliefs and his place in British society, as well as a valuable historical document of the political and social landscape of late 19th century Britain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
