""A Speech Delivered Before The Municipal Court Of The City Of Boston, In Defense Of Abner Kneeland, On An Indictment For Blasphemy"" is a historical book written by Andrew Dunlap in 1834. The book is a transcript of a speech given by Dunlap in defense of Abner Kneeland, who was indicted for blasphemy. The speech was delivered before the Municipal Court of the City of Boston, and it argues that Kneeland's views on religion and God do not constitute blasphemy. Dunlap argues that Kneeland's beliefs are based on reason and science, rather than on religious dogma. The book provides a fascinating insight into the religious and intellectual debates of the early 19th century, and it is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American religion and free speech.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
