# Works of Robert G. Ingersoll, Volume 12 - Miscellany

An audiobook by Robert G. Ingersoll, read by LibriVox volunteers (11 h 15 min, English).

Enjoy listening to some of The Great Agnostic's fiery articles, speeches and introductory remarks at a variety of banquets, expositions (like the World's Fair), and celebrations in late 1800's America. The controversial Col. Ingersoll was one of the most sought after Toastmasters and speakers in his day, filling great lecture halls before, during, and after the Civil war, amassing 12 volumes of collected written material. Volume 12 are the collected papers that didn't fit into the previous 11 volumes, and were on some occasions not edited by himself. Ingersoll, son of an itinerant Baptist preacher and well versed in scripture, was an ardent atheist, freethinker & co-founder of the Unitarian church, an abolitionist, great supporter of the arts, devoted family man, and friend to some outstanding clergy whether they agreed with his religious views or not. This volume does not include the 21 Tributes, presented as a sequel in a separate audiobook. (Summary by Michele Fry, BC )
