Excerpt from The Mistakes of IngersollKnowing that this volume is sadly deficient in literary merit, I feel diffident in presenting it to an enlightened public. I hope that my readers will not regard it as an indication of egotism if I offer and apology for the many crudities which characterize this work. When I began my course of lectures on "The Mistakes of Ingersoll, " several intimate friends requested me to publish them in the columns of the press. I refused to comply with their solicitations, giving as my reason that I have never written lectures or sermons, depending altogether on the inspiration of the moment for my success as a public speaker. Moreover, I thought that the time spent in preparing my lectures for the press could be more profitably employed in other studies. Others appealed to me to prepare a book on the subject that I was treating. At first I smiled at the suggestion, stating that books are now more numerous than readers. However, after frequent entreaties, I accepted the idea, and began this work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
