Robert J. Breckinridge, a staunch anti-slavery Presbyterian preacher faced-off in a heated debate with George Thompson, a high profile British abolitionist that accused all American ministers of promoting slavery. The debate was held over five nights at a neutral chapel in Glasgow, Scotland. The conditions set for the debate were as follows:

• That the discussion should commence on a Monday, and continue until the matter was resolved to each party's satisfaction
• Each speaker received a half-hour to speak, alternately, though the debate was not to exceed three hours each night
• That admission was by ticket only, with a maximum capacity of 1,200
• That neither speaker should be interrupted in their speeches
• There were to be no questions or polls from the audience

This debate, which lasted five nights and sold out to capacity each time, offers a unique window into history and the abolitionist movements on both sides of the Atlantic.

This volume contains thirty-three essays and addresses by Breckinridge discussing the similarities and differences between the Roman Catholic Church and early nineteenth-century Protestantism. This volume reveals a tenuous relationship between Protestants and Catholics in Breckinridge’s era, yet testifies to his unswerving belief and thorough command of doctrine.

This passionate speech was given in Lexington, Kentucky at the very beginning of the American Civil War in April of 1861. Kentucky adopted an official policy of neutrality, but Breckinridge foresaw the moral and practical problems that decision created.

In this patriotic discourse, given before the Literary Societies of Lafayette College in 1837, Robert J. Breckinridge championed the virtues and morals that America was founded on and argued that providing an education for every child would make America a shining example for the rest of the world.
