<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>

The evolution of the family appears in the various stages of blood-revenge, and--in the author's opinion--in the steady improvement of the status of women, and the growth of monogamy. Promiscuity comes under the 1 La Familie dam tAniiipiite Israelite (Alcan, Paris). VOL. XVIII. B b ban of the law, and feelings of morality give the impulse to the ever increasingly strict legislation. Thus the family in ancient Israel improves in notions of right, equality and benevolence, and forms a school of respect, purity, and reciprocal devotion which unites the respective members of its generations (p. 276). Altogether, the Rabbi of Dijon's manual is a useful contribution to Hebrew sociology for the wealth of his material and the abundance of his resources. It is admittedly based upon the results of literary criticism, for, as the writer candidly admits:--"On ne saurait se former une idee exacte du developpement de la civilisation israelite, si Ton ignore ou Ton m£connait la nature, l'origine, la composition, l'histoire des ecrits bibliques qui constituent notre plus importante source d'infonnation " (p. 5). It will doubtless be agreed that whatever may be the arguments of those who are opposed to literary criticism, it is rather significant that those who apply themselves to questions of scientific research in Old Testament subjects find themselves compelled to adopt the standpoint of "moderate criticism." The question of the family figures prominently in yet another book, this time only as far as external points of detail are concerned. In an elaborate and painstaking work B. Jacob1 discusses the evidence in the Pentateuch regarding the arrangement of family and genea...

Excerpt from Aspects of Judaism: Being Sixteen SermonsThe Sermons contained in this volume, with three exceptions, were all delivered at various Jewish religious services. Though there is no basis in Jewish history for a distinction between clergy and laity, in practice such a distinction inevitably arose towards the end of the middle-ages. Yet, laymen though we are, and though our opinions on many points may not be generally shared by Jews, we have nevertheless been permitted to occupy the pulpit in several Jewish places of worship. This fact is not merely a source of gratification to ourselves, but seems to speak well for the liberality of modern Judaism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
