The Trial of C.B. Reynolds for Blasphemy: Defense by Robert G. Ingersoll is a book that recounts the legal proceedings against Charles B. Reynolds, who was charged with blasphemy in 1887. The book is written by Robert G. Ingersoll, a prominent American lawyer and orator who served as Reynolds' defense counsel during the trial.Ingersoll's defense of Reynolds was based on the principle of free speech and the right to express one's beliefs without fear of persecution. He argued that Reynolds' statements, which were deemed blasphemous by the prosecution, were merely expressions of his personal beliefs and did not constitute a crime.The book provides a detailed account of the trial, including transcripts of the proceedings and Ingersoll's arguments in defense of Reynolds. It also includes a transcript of Reynolds' statement to the court, in which he explains his beliefs and defends his right to express them.In addition to the trial itself, the book also explores the broader issue of free speech and the limitations placed on it by society and the law. It is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and beliefs of Americans in the late 19th century, and the struggle for individual rights and freedoms that continues to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
