"Out of sheer laziness, I then produced a history of atheism, "The Anatomy of Negation," which has been honored by international dislike. Need I state that of all my children it is the one that I prefer?" - Edgar Saltus "The work is remarkable in every way and its originality and power will compel for it more than an ephemeral existence, for independently of the force with which it deals with its theme its literary merits are of a high order, and its reflections are those of a bold, brilliant and able thinker." - Boston Saturday Review
