Book Description
Robert Green Ingersoll's book 'Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy, at Morristown, N. J., May 1887: Defence' is a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of free speech and religious expression in the late 19th century. Ingersoll, known for his rationalist and skeptic views, presents a detailed defense of Reynolds, who was prosecuted for blasphemy. In eloquent prose, Ingersoll challenges the prevailing religious orthodoxy of the time, advocating for individual freedoms of speech and belief. The book is a compelling blend of legal analysis and philosophical arguments, shedding light on the cultural tensions of the Gilded Age. Ingersoll's writing style is engaging and persuasive, making this book a captivating read for those interested in the intersection of religion and free speech. Robert Green Ingersoll, a prominent orator and thinker of his time, was known for his outspoken advocacy of secularism and humanism. His background as a lawyer and political figure gives him a unique perspective on issues of civil liberties and religious freedom, which is evident in this book. 'Trial of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy' serves as a timeless reminder of the importance of upholding individual rights and questioning societal norms. I recommend this book to readers interested in historical debates on freedom of speech and the separation of church and state.

Book Description
Gentlemen of the Jury: I regard this as one of the most important cases that can be submitted to a jury. It is not a case that involves a little property, neither is it one that involves simply the liberty of one man. It involves the freedom of speech, the intellectual liberty of every citizen of New Jersey.

Book Description
A compelling history of atheism in American public life A much-maligned minority throughout American history, atheists have been cast as a threat to the nation’s moral fabric, barred from holding public office, and branded as irreligious misfits in a nation chosen by God. Yet village atheists—as these godless freethinkers came to be known by the close of the nineteenth century—were also hailed for their gutsy dissent from stultifying pieties and for posing a necessary secularist challenge to the entanglements of church and state. In Village Atheists, Leigh Eric Schmidt explores the complex cultural terrain that unbelievers have long had to navigate in their fight to secure equal rights and liberties in American public life. He rebuilds the history of American secularism from the ground up, giving flesh and blood to these outspoken infidels. Village Atheists demonstrates that the secularist vision for the United States proved to be anything but triumphant in a country where faith and citizenship were—and still are—closely interwoven.
