Old London: Old Fleet Street (Village London Series)

Thornbury, Walter

Village Press

St Paul's Cathedral has been the centre of religious life in London for more than 1500 years and the scene of great events from Royal marriages to the funerals of national heroes like Nelson and Wellington. The surrounding area is full of names steeped in history - Blackfriars, Whitefriars and Ludgate Hill. The street names reflect the products that were sold there: Honey Lane, Milk Street and Ironmonger Lane. Many of the old craft guilds have their headquarters nearby. Nearby, at the College of Heralds, the Kings of Arms still preserve the orders of chivalry.

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)
