How to Write the History of a Parish

<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>

Originally published in 1914, The English Parish Church is a thorough and illuminating survey of nine centuries of ecclesiastical architecture. Accompanied by illustrations and photographs, J Charles Cox considers the styles and materials that have been used throughout history. From the development of basic layouts of nave and tower to finer details of masonry and ornamentation, each part of the church's fabric is placed in the context of its times and surroundings. Some interesting interior features are also highlighted, a subject Cox explored further in his subsequent volume, English Church Fittings, Furniture & Accessories.
