Excerpt from A Contribution to the Bibliography of Scottish Topography, Vol. 1 of 2In 1905 and 1906 our work on this List was considerably interrupted, as Sir Arthur was editing the Macfarlane Geographical Collections, with volume ii. Of which he had much trouble. I was able to render him very material assistance with the Introduction to that volume. As is known, be handed over most of the editing Of volume iii. To Mr. Clark, finding himself not properly equal to the task.I was several times made aware that Sir Arthur regarded his life as drawing towards its close. He frequently regretted his loss of ready memory and his lessening of working energy, and sometimes he would ask that an after noon should be void Of serious work and should be given up merely to recreative chat. Twice he had short but sharp attacks of illness, which he quite definitely took as warnings doubtless his medical knowledge told him their true import. He methodically put his literary house in order, destroying, to my regret, many Of his memoranda that contained What I considered valuable antiquarian and topographical matter.After his death, I continued my work at this List, arranging and adding as before. When the Scottish History Society definitely decided to publish it, I saw that the great diversity of form among the matter Of the slips rendered it necessary that they should all be written out in uniform style. This was, in Sir Arthur's phrase, a work Of some size, ' and it occupied my entire leisure for a year and a half.It must not go without saying that I have received considerable kind help from personal friends, from book sellers, from librarians, and from correspondents otherwise unknown to me indeed throughout I have met with the utmost readiness to give any information or help that I found it necessary to seek. For all such kindness I have expressed, and here again express my cordial thanks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

About Dreaming, Laughing and Blushing

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)
