Charles KnowltonCharles Knowlton (May 10 1800 - February 20 1850) was an American physician and writer. His most famous work was a pamphlet on birth control, The Fruits of Philosophy, or the Private Companion of Young Married People (published anonymously in 1832): Knowlton was prosecuted a number of times for the publication, resulting in his being sentenced to three months hard labour in December 1832. The pamphlet reached its widest circulation in the late 1870s, as the result of the widely publicised trial of Charles Bradlaugh and Annie Besant for republishing the pamphlet in Britain.
