Excerpt from Classes and Masses or Wealth, Wages, and Welfare in the United Kingdom: A Handbook of Social Facts for Political, Thinkers and SpeakersIs to confine the benefits of progress more and more strictly to the few, and to push down the masses of the people into ever-deepening poverty and servitude, rendering their chances of making even a bare living more and more uncertain.

There has been hardly a single social agitator, during the past twenty years in England, who has not put forward the above statements with regard to society as obvious and incontrovertible truths. It is therefore, before all things, necessary to inquire how far such a hideous picture is correct and of the two groups of facts and principles with which this volume deals, one has reference to the character of society as it is - to the natural tendency of the forces embodied in it, and the actual results of their working, as shown by an examination of the general condition of the people at the present moment, and a comparison of it with their condition at former periods.

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)
