Excerpt from The Philosophy of Ingersoll: To Plow Is to Pray, to Plant Is to Prophesy, and the Harvest Answers and Fulfils
Probably no man or woman of history has been so universally misjudged as Robert G. Ingersoll. Those who did not know him personally, - and they were of course the greater number, - believed him a mere, mental gladiator rudely disturbing the foundations of established faith, and giving nothing better in return. Many, who never heard him speak, or read a word of his, thought him incapable of giving to the world any system of constructive philosophy - some even going so far as to question his sincerity.
This book is published to dispel in some measure that belief, and is submitted to the public with the single hope that it may be read without prejudice and criticized without fear.
I acknowledge with gratitude much personal kindness received from Mr. C. P. Farrell and the members of Col. Ingersoll's family.
