Excerpt from Mistakes of Ingersoll on Thomas Paine: As Shown by E. P. Goodwin, D.D., Wm; M. Blackburn, D.D., Bishop Fallows, Rev. Simeon Gilbert, Pere Hyacinthe, Prof. Wilcox, Rev. James Maclaughlin, W. F. Hatfield, D.D., And Others; Including Also Ingersoll's Lecture on Thomas Paine Col. Ingersoll's address on Thomas Paine - delivered in Chicago, January 29th, 1880 - was in some respects so outrageous as to be best answered by declaring it a prodigy of unfairness. Its alleged facts in regard to Paine may be true, but some of the assumptions and assertions, right and wrong, made by Col. Ingersoll, may be profitably noted.
