Excerpt from The Elements of Moral Science It is not without much diffidence, that 1 have ventured to lay before the public a work on this important subject. That something of this so1t was needed, has long been universally confessed. My professional duty led me to undertake it; and I trust that the hope of usefulness has in duced me to prepare it for publication. If I have not been so happy as to elucidate truth, have endeavored to express myself in such a manner, that the reader shall have as little trou ble as possible in detecting my errors. And if it shall be found, that I have thrown any light whatever upon the science of human. Duty, I shall have unspeakable cause for gratitude to that Spirit, whose insplratlon alone teacheth man um derstanding. And my cause for gratitude will scarcely be less, should my failure incite some one, better able than myself to do justice to the subject, to a more successful undertaking.

Salvation by Christ: a series of discourses on some of the most important doctrines of the Gospel

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)

History

Excerpt from Thoughts on the Present Collegiate System in the United States The following pages are submitted to the public with great diffidence because they propose changes and the author has lived too long to be a passionate admirer of innovation. Let it however be re membered that he merely suggests the points to be aimed at where alterations are to be made; leaving the time and manner and degree of altera tion to the decision of those whose duty it is to judge of the circumstances in each particular case. Should he have done no more than direct attention to the questions here discussed, the labor which he has bestowed will not have been wholly mis-spent. These pages have been written amidst frequent interruptions arising from pressing Collegiate eu gagements, as well as from unusual public anxiety. They have been printed at so great a distance from home, that the author has been unable to revise the proofs with all the care that he could wish. With all their imperfections, he offers them as an humble contribution to the cause of Collegiate Education.
