Preface 



The writing of this book is a duty which was 

 deeply impressed upon my mind many years ago, 

 and which has been more deeply impressed since by 

 reason of the moans and cries of suffering animal 

 life by which I have been surrounded. 



I have no ambition to gratify in offering the 

 book to the world beyond the good it may accom- 

 plish, in promoting kindness and preventing cruelty. 



I have made many statements which I do not 

 pause to explain, but which are based upon positive 

 scientific and historical facts. I have the authori- 

 ties in my possession for reference when required. 



The plan is to show that God, creating the en- 

 tire universe, the heavens, the earth and all things 

 therein, governs and controls this great cosmos in 

 accordance with an universal law of harmony and 

 goodness. 



God has a design in creating one planet as well
