Col. Ingersoll, a renowned trial lawyer and known as "the Great Agnostic", was one of the most sought after Toastmasters of his day, invited to many banquets, parties and gravesides of famous persons, filling huge lecture halls before, during, and after the Civil war, amassing 12 volumes of collected essays and speeches he gave on the lecture circuit. Volume 12 houses the collected papers that didn't fit into the previous 11 volumes, including these tributes to celebrities of his era, to Benjamin W. Parker, Henry Ward Beecher, Walt Whitman, Anton Seidl, and many others. These tributes were not included in the Librivox audiobook version of Volume 12, Miscellany, so they could be appreciated on their own. Enjoy! (Summary by Michele Fry, BC )
