Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens
are today, ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious
radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they
were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he
believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a
wildly popular orator and critic of American culture and public
life. Legendary as a speaker-he memorized his speeches and could
talk for hours without notes-and as a proponent of freethought,
Ingersoll is an American original whose words still ring with truth
and power today. His most important works are gathered in this
12-volume collected edition, first published posthumously in 1901.
Volume XII features a series of miscellaneous works: essays on
modern thinkers, the brain and the Bible, agnosticism, and more a
variety of short dinner speeches and addresses "The Religion of
Abraham Lincoln" thoughts on superstition, liberty, joy, and youth
and age "The Lowest Phase of Religion" Ingersoll's letters and more
Volume XII also includes the complete index for the full 12-volume
set.
