About This Book

A compiled index arranges twelve volumes of the author's collected lectures, essays, addresses, and miscellany, providing detailed tables of contents for each volume. It enumerates major orations and shorter pieces on religion and biblical criticism, liberty and individual rights, politics and reform, science and progress, social questions, and numerous tributes, dinners, and occasional addresses. Entries group related themes and note prefaces and fragments, enabling readers to navigate the corpus of rhetorical speeches and essays. The work serves as a reference-oriented roadmap to the author's public utterances rather than a single narrative.

About the Author

Ingersoll, Robert Green portrait

Robert Green Ingersoll

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) was a prominent American orator, lawyer, and political activist known for his advocacy of free thought and secularism. Often referred to as the "Great Agnostic," Ingersoll was a leading figure in the 19th-century movement for religious skepticism and humanism. His lectures, such as "About The Holy Bible" and "An Oration on the Life and Services of Thomas Paine," challenged traditional religious beliefs and promoted rationalism. Ingersoll's eloquent speeches and writings contributed significantly to the discourse on religion, morality, and individual rights, making him a notable figure in American literary and intellectual history.
