"I advise every adult person of both sexes to set about forming an independent judgment, to which the first step is the provision of the means by the study and digestion of good books, and the exchange of opinions with each other. In religion, as in politics, it is useless to look for improvement from within. The Ministries of various persuasions will continue to carry on the exercise of their duties and the compliance with their respective formularies so long as you choose to retain them. From the members of the Church, not from its administrators, who are usually of the schoolmaster class or type, must come the initiative in a radical change. Think for yourself, all you who have the power; men and women, young and old. Do not let others do so for you." Uncommon Hazlitt work, a plea for free thought, and Unitarian Thought, by well-regarded English essayist and bibliographer. "William Carew Hazlitt, known professionally as W. Carew Hazlitt, was an English lawyer, bibliographer, editor and writer. He was the son of the barrister and registrar William Hazlitt, a grandson of the essayist and critic William Hazlitt, and a great-grandson of the Unitarian minister and author William Hazlitt."
