Formerly folded vertically. ; Apparently first edition of author's first work. Robert Green Ingersoll (August 11, 1833 July 21, 1899), nicknamed "the Great Agnostic", was an American lawyer, writer, and orator during the Golden Age of Free Thought, whoagnosticism campaigned in defense of (Wikipedia). Ingersoll, Civil War Colonel and the 'leading American orator of his generation,' undoubtedly reached a wider audience through the printed and spoken word than did almost any other free-thought propagandast. 'His cthical indictment of orthodox religion. was the deepest source of his infiuence. and was never really answered by the clerics and others who affected to dismiss it'(J. M. Robertson). Many of his pamphlets were reprinted in England. This is his first published (PMM).

"His first published lecture, An Oration on the Gods, appeared in 1872 and was followed in the ensuing years by others in which he continued his attack on the basis of Christian orthodoxy.

He was a great propagandist of the rationalist and scientific view of the relation of man to the universe and he helped to popularize and lend an aura of respectability to ideas which previously had gained little acceptance outside intellectual circles."
