In this work it is found the author has adopted the opinion that the Sacred Writers wrote chiefly, if not entirely, allegorical compositions. He recollects that Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians; and he expected to find traces of that wisdom in his works. The learned among the ancient Egyptians were pure theists. They were deeply skilled in the sciences; but they carefully concealed their mysterious learning under innumerable symbols and allegories. May we not look for the same things in the writings which are ascribed to the Jewish lawgiver? This is what Drummond has done in this book.

Polemo-Middinia: Carmen Macaronicum (1750) (Latin Edition)

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)
