The Abominations of Modern Society


Lu par LibriVox Volunteers

(3.7 stars; 6 reviews)

The title gives an accurate description of the book! It is full of old and forgotten words and phrases, Amusing at times, but addressing the problems mentioned in the chapter titles in detail. The troubles of his times are the same as today's, and Rev. Talmage does a marvelous job going through each one individually.

Good book, but narrator hard to follow

How can you have an ostensibly liberal book but fail to include the struggle of 2SLGTBQTIA+ persons. No mention of the families of undocumented guest worker Latinx being separated at the border. literally Mein Kampf. Author needs to be dug up and hung from the alter of modern progressivism
