Reason Vs. The Sword is a treatise written by John M. Washburn in 1873. The book argues that humans have no right to take the life of another human being. Washburn presents his case using reason and logic, rather than relying on religious or moral arguments. He examines the history of warfare and the use of force in society, and concludes that violence only begets more violence. Washburn also discusses the concept of self-defense and argues that it is not a valid justification for taking another person's life. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the ethics of violence and the value of human life.And That War Is Violative Of The Laws Of Nature And Of Revelation, And Destructive Of The Right Of Self-Government.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
