INTRODUCTION. 



Whence is the beginning and ending 

 of eternity ? or, who can assign the 

 bounds to infinity ? Who shall meas- 

 ure the length and breadth of space, 

 or count the mighty orbs that roll 

 around the centre of centres, the 

 throne of the Eternal ? The all-seeing, 

 all-pervading Ruler and Lawgiver of 

 the Universe, in whom alone there 

 is no change.
