History

Legare Street Press

<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author 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 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>

Excerpt from Dialect of the West Riding of Yorkshire: A Short History of Leeds and Other TownsIn this little book is an ethnological survey of the various races of men who have successively made incursions to this country, and the words they each have left behind, which have gone to build up the English we now speak. How words from one race have predominated in one locality, and become obsolete in another, thus forming what is termed dialect (not patois), is explained. Dialects may be trivialities to the purist, but thinking men consider them forces, racy of the soil, which will not readily die out. Many years have I occupied in studying various dialects, English and Continental; and in comparing them with that of Yorkshire, I find them all related more or less, being descended from the Aryan stock. Here are no fanciful derivations.My thanks are due for valuable assistance to Clement Blackburn, Esq., of Brow Lee, near Brighouse, who is part owner of this book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
