(Wise, Isaac Mayer) McClure, J. B : MISTAKES OF INGERSOLL: AS SHOWN BY PROF. SWING, J. MONRO GIBSON, D.D., W.H. RYDER, D.D., RABBI WISE, BROOKE HERFORD, D.D., AND OTHERS

Chicago:rhodes & McClure., 1880.

8vo. 118, 151 pages. Illustrated. Two volumes bound in one. Colonel Robert Green Ingersoll [1833-1899], a Civil War veteran, was a highly popular orator and political leader, though his agnosticism, his support for the Free Thought movement and his views on religion, slavery and women's rights precluded him from any high political office. This lecture points out absurdities in the Old Testament. The second volume bound in here includes Ingersoll's lecture on Skulls, with copious criticism's by his opponents, and also Ingersoll's Oration at his Brother's Grave, together with Henry Ward Beecher's comments! It is ironic that this volume's value is largely due to the comparatively small amount of actual material by Ingersoll, rather than by the whole disorderly squadron of his religionist opponents! It does help place the fury and outrage that Ingersoll's notorious speeches generated in their time. SUBJECT (S) : Ingersoll, Robert Green, 1833-1899 – views on religion; Bible. O. T. Pentateuch – evidences, authorities, etc. OCLC lists 5 copies worldwide (Yale, Ohio State Univ, American Philosophical Society, North Central College, Drew Univ) . Ex library. Water stains to cover edges, pages a little tanned, hinges starting, good- condition. (AMR-34-26)
