About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Is the Bible Worth Reading and Other Essays by Lemuel Kelley Washburn. Read in English by LibriVox volunteers. These are more than 100 short essays on all things atheism and freethought penned by Lemuel K. Washburn, an American freethought writer and editor for the Boston Investigator. He talks about a wide range of topics, for example about women and the church, human integrity, the character of god and the idea and teachings of Jesus. At the end of some essays there are aphorisms from his pen. Washburn is best known for the Cosmian Hymn Book: A Collection of Original and Selected Hymns, a collection of hymns promoted as "perfectly free from all sectarianism" published in 1888.
