Subject: Free thought

This book, published in 1876, presents biographical sketches of eleven prominent women associated with the freethought movement. The biographies include Madame Roland, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, Mary Shelley, George Sand, Harriet Martineau, Frances Wright D'Arusmont, Emma Martin, Margaret Reynolds Chappellsmith, Ernestine L. Rose, Frances Power Cobbe, and George Eliot (Marian Evans Lewes). This work, originally published by Somerby before its acquisition by The Truth Seeker Company, contains a significant biographical account of Ernestine Rose (pp. 255-281). It is considered extremely rare due to a lack of subsequent reprints.

This book contains a debate between Robert Green Ingersoll, a prominent 19th-century American agnostic lecturer, and J. B. McClure, with a rebuttal by Rabbi Wise of Cincinnati, Ohio. Published around 1879, it represents a notable early example of a public intellectual exchange in the United States involving a prominent atheist and a well-known Jewish religious figure. The book includes Ingersoll's lecture and the responses from McClure and Rabbi Wise.

This 14-page pamphlet reprints Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll's critique of the biblical book of Moses. Published around 1875, it presents Ingersoll's perspective on inconsistencies and perceived flaws within the text, reflecting his known views on religion and freethought. The pamphlet likely served as a standalone publication or possibly as part of a larger collection of Ingersoll's works.
