The Skeptical Doctor

dedicated to the work of Theodore Dalrymple

Listed below are a few of our favorite Anthony Daniels/Theodore Dalrymple essays that are available online. The Speeches and Interviews page also serves as a quick introduction to his work, but there is no substitute for reading. Where noted, purchase is required -- and well worth it, as these are all excellent publications.
