Bradlaugh was a Neo-Malthusian, as was Annie Besant, before she became a Theosophist and recanted. Bradlaugh's focus was on birth control, and was quite different from the middle-class Malthusian argument that led to the repeal of outdoor relief. Many of Foote's fellow "anti-Bradlaughites" (like Holyoake) pretended to be shocked by the candidness of the Neo-Malthusian program, especially Charles Knowlton's Fruits of Philosophy[1] -- but I have trouble seeing GW Foote this way, given the contents of The Freethinker.
