Very good. $85. * Originally made at a free speech meeting held at Madison Square Garden in 1917 and published under the title The Meaning of Free Speech (For Pacifists), this speech originally protested the suppression of radical and pacifist periodicals under the wartime Espionage and Sedition Acts. It was later revised "by eliminating the references to the war, and by making some additions" in order to serve "as a syllabus for all of the arguments [Schroeder] made for unabridged free speech" (Prefatory note). The revised version first appeared in the St. Louis radical journal The Paladin in January 1918 under the title "When Speech is Free."
