The Ghosts and other lectures Robert Green Ingersoll Ingersoll was a great orator of the 19th century, who also happened to be an outspoken atheist. In the best orations collected in this volume, he uses logic and common sense to demolish any case the bible has for being a moral book, and he also delights in lambasting the clergy. The other essays touch on the centennial of the American Revolution, his brother's death, and farming. At times, Ingersoll is prone to the prejudices of his time, calling Native Americans "savages"--although he says British soldiers in the Revolutionary War were worse. He also pretty much says that intelligent people can only develop in the proper climate of places like America. He believes strongly in the healing power of winter. Despite these shortcomings, Ingersoll was a strong opponent of slavery and the church's support of slavery forms part of his indictment of religion. This book is free on Amazon and from other sources. Ingersoll is a voice from the past who, despite his sometimes too flowery rhetoric, is well worth hearing from. And on occasion, he will surprise you with his dry humor. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience. The Ghosts Robert Green Ingersoll The Ghosts pdf The Ghosts full text The Ghosts book
