Summary: "Lectures of Col. R. G. Ingersoll - Latest" by Robert Green Ingersoll is a collection of thought-provoking lectures delivered during the late 19th century. In this work, Ingersoll defends the legacy of Thomas Paine, advocating for reason, liberty, and religious tolerance while scrutinizing political and religious tyranny. The lectures explore themes of human rights, the role of superstition, and the impact of Paine's writings on American independence and enlightenment. The opening of this collection sets the stage for Ingersoll's impassioned defense of Thomas Paine, highlighting his significant contributions to the ideals of liberty and democracy during the American Revolution. Ingersoll reminisces about his introduction to public speaking, which was focused on honoring Paine's memory. He emphasizes Paine's audacity to challenge established norms and argues that his writings, particularly "Common Sense," were pivotal in galvanizing the push for independence. The text sets a critical tone against religious dogma and celebrates Paine's intellectual contributions, positioning him as an enduring symbol of freedom and rational thought.
