Mistakes Of Ingersoll On Thomas Paine (1880)

""Mistakes of Ingersoll on Thomas Paine"" is a book written by James Baird McClure in 1880. The book is a critique of the famous American orator and agnostic, Robert Green Ingersoll, who had given a series of lectures on Thomas Paine, the 18th-century English-American political activist and philosopher. McClure takes issue with Ingersoll's interpretation of Paine's life and works, arguing that Ingersoll's portrayal of Paine as an atheist and a radical is inaccurate and unfair. McClure argues that Paine was a deist who believed in God and that his political views were not as extreme as Ingersoll suggests. The book is a detailed analysis of Ingersoll's lectures and provides a counter-argument to his claims about Paine. It is an important work for anyone interested in the life and legacy of Thomas Paine, as well as the history of American intellectual thought in the late 19th century.As Shown By E. P.
