About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Works Of Robert G. Ingersoll, Volume 4 by Robert G. Ingersoll. Read in English by Michele Fry; Ted Delorme; KirksVoice; Sean Grabosky; Libby Gohn; JoeD; TRUEBRIT; Julia Niedermaier; Herman Roskams Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, one of the greatest orators of the mid-19th century, was a highly sought after lecturer/toastmaster who sold out every hall he engaged throughout America. He was an ardent abolitionist, agnostic, humanist, humanitarian, supporter of the arts, and woman's rights, and member of the Unitarian Church, who railed against the absurdities of the Bible and cruelties of Christianity, praised technology, inventors, authors and great statemen for their contributions to the uplift of mankind. Mark Twain, a contemporary of Ingersoll, reported that no one could stir up a crowd like Ingersoll, and that by the end of the Colonel's toast at General Grant's Victory Banquet after the Civil War, everyone was standing on chairs and tables stomping, cheering, crying and madly waving their napkins. ( Summary by Michele Fry)
