About this book
Ingersollia collects thoughts from lectures, speeches and conversations, presenting the selections as representative of the speaker's opinions and beliefs. The contents include farm life, work, happiness, debt, home ownership and the place of children within the family. The introduction credits the speaker with prompting earnest questions and sincere enquiry, describing free thought as a service to society.
A discussion of religion contrasts claims that the world was necessarily perfect with claims that the world was cursed and humanity condemned to disease and death. The criticism of religious institutions also declares that the altar and throne have supported each other, while acknowledging generous human conduct despite church and dogma.
