James Watson was een vooraanstaande 19e-eeuwse uitgever en schrijver, bekend om zijn onvermoeibare pleidooi voor persvrijheid en vrijheid van meningsuiting. Als een freethought-uitgever tartte hij de repressieve wetten van zijn tijd en verspreidde hij werken die gevestigde sociale en religieuze normen in twijfel trokken. Zijn uitgeverij specialiseerde zich in het toegankelijk maken van de geschriften van denkers als Thomas Paine en Percy Bysshe Shelley. Watsons toewijding aan freethought-principes en zijn herhaalde gevangenisstraffen onderstreepten zijn vastberadenheid om de rechten op vrije meningsuiting te verdedigen. Zijn nalatenschap leeft voort in de herdenking van zijn moedige inspanningen om de vrije meningsuiting te waarborgen.
