Summary: "When the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher was sued on a charge of adultery, the America of 1874 was ecstatically shocked. For Mr. Beecher was, til his death in 1887, the archbishop of American liberal Protestantism. He came out for the right side of every question -- always a little too late. He was referred to as "the greatest preacher since St. Paul", he was mentioned for the presidency. He was a combination of St. Augustine, Barnum, and John Barrymore." -- from glued insert.
