Biographical Dictionary of Freethinkers
Henry Hetherington
English upholder of a free press, born Soho, London, 1792. He became a printer, and was one of the most energetic of working men engaged in the foundation of mechanics’ institutes. He also founded the Metropolitan Political Union in March, 1830, which was the germ both of trades’ unionism and of the Chartist movement. He resisted the “taxes upon knowledge” by issuing unstamped The Poor Man’s Guardian, a weekly newspaper for the people, established, contrary to “law,” to try the power of “might” against “right,” ’31–35. For this he twice suffered sentences of six months’ imprisonment. He afterwards published The Unstamped, and his persistency had much to do in removing the taxes. While in prison he wrote his Cheap Salvation in consequence of conversation with the chaplain of Clerkenwell Gaol. On Dec. 8, ’40, he was tried for “blasphemous libel” for publishing Haslam’s Letters to the Clergy, and received four month’s imprisonment. Hetherington published A Few Hundred Bible Contradictions, and other Freethought works. Much of his life was devoted to the propaganda of Chartism. He died 24 Aug. 1849, leaving a will declaring himself an Atheist.
