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)

Excerpt from When the King Came: Stories From the Four GospelsOnce upon a time there was a Year One. Strangely enough, it was not the beginning of the years. The world was already very Old nobody knows how Old. People had been living on the earth, time out of mind, in mighty nations, fighting great battles and building great cities. But somehow, every thing seemed to begin over again that year, because that was when the King came. And we have taken it ever since as the most important Of all dates. When we say that this present year is Nineteen-hundred - and something, we mean that the Year One was just so many years ago.It is always to be remembered about that year that one of its days was Christmas Day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
