<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.

Excerpt from The Last Thirty Days of ChristThe manuscript was not one of those neatly rolled-up and ribbon-tied calligraphic triumphs, as come down to us from the hands of poets. Its appearance was of a shocking, demoralizing character. Scribbled down hastily, with endless corrections, some passages in pencil, on sheets unnumbered and of uneven sizes, spotted throughout liberally with coffee rings, grease spots and ﬂy dirt, nibbled at the corners by mice so that here and there a word had lost its vowel, the manuscript did not inspire me to quick ac tion. Besides it was a word for word translation from - I do not know whether from Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic - into German, and the dic tion consequently was hopelessly awkward and unliterary. Having never seen the original manuscript, and being ignorant whether it was found in the dusty cell of some ruined monas tery or Whether the monks of Athos used it orfce upon a time as a seat, as they are reported to have done with other priceless volumes, I can not vouch for the authenticity of the diary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
