""The Address To The Jury Of C. B. Reynolds For Blasphemy"" is a book written by Robert G. Ingersoll. The book is a transcript of a speech given by Ingersoll in defense of C. B. Reynolds, who was charged with blasphemy. Ingersoll argues that the charge of blasphemy is a violation of the First Amendment's protection of free speech and that Reynolds' statements were not intended to offend, but rather to express his own beliefs. The speech also addresses the role of religion in society and the importance of individual freedom of thought and expression. The book provides a historical perspective on the controversy surrounding blasphemy and the struggle for free speech in the United States.THIS 72 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: The Works of Robert G.
