One of their first publications in 1877 was to reproduce a treatise on birth control written by a physician, Charles Knowlton, which had been published anonymously in the US in 1832 as The Fruits of Philosophy.

[5] The company published a series of volumes called the International Library of Science and Freethought including books by George Holyoake, who had coined the term ‘secularism’, and translations from the German of The Pedigree of Man by Ernst Haeckel[6] and of Mind in Animals by Ludwig Büchner.
[7] The company published essays by Edward Aveling, a spokesman for evolution and a founder member of the Socialist League; by Logan Mitchell, who wrote The Christian Mythology Unveiled;[8] and republished essays by American freethinkers such as Robert Ingersoll and Moncure Conway.
