Does anyone know of WK Clifford's "The Ethics of Belief"?

It is a very important and insightful paper. Many of the problems seen on this forum between atheists and the faithful can be tied to points in that paper and to the nonsense reply of William James. (1) James does what the person of religious prejudice tends to do, tries to make it appear that the choice between empirical standards and faith was a coin toss, which is absurdity of the highest caliber.
