Lectures and Speeches of Robert Green Ingersoll
Readings of the speeches and lectures of the great Humanist. Ingersoll was most noted as an orator, the most popular of the age, when oratory was public entertainment. He spoke on every subject, from Shakespeare to Reconstruction, but his most popular subjects were agnosticism and the sanctity and refuge of the family. He committed his speeches to memory although they were sometimes more than three hours long. His audiences were said never to be restless. Many of Ingersoll's speeches advocated freethought and humanism, and often poked fun at religious belief. These speeches and lectures were constructed in the age of great oratory and should be heard to be appreciated.
