Nothing Exists For Itself Alone, But Only

Believing As I Do That Man In The Distant Future Will Be A Far More Perfect Creature Than He Now Is, It Is An Intolerable Thought That He And All Other Sentient Beings Are Doomed To Complete Annihilation After Such Long-continued Slow Progress.

Light Will Be Thrown On The Origin Of Man And His History.

False Facts Are Highly Injurious To The Progress Of Science, For They Often Endure Long; But False Views, If Supported By Some Evidence, Do Little Harm, For Every One Takes A Salutary Pleasure In Proving Their Falseness.

...all Nature Is Perverse & Will Not Do As I Wish It.

I See No Good Reasons Why The Views Given In This Volume Should Shock The Religious Views Of Anyone.
