" This theory is startHng by reason of its novelty ; it exhibits great originality 

 in its conception, great power, great knowledge, much ingenuity, vast and varied 

 ability in the method of its treatment." — The Morning Advertiser. 



" The book possesses a fascination which we believe few of its readers wiU be 

 able to withstand." — John Bull. 



" It is not as a poetical dream that our anonymous scribe takes up the Pre- 

 adamite conception, but as a sober verity, to be confirmed by Scripture and 

 science, and to be argued for in plain logical and geological prose." — Athenceum. 



" This book is in every respect one of the most remarkable that has appeared 

 for a considerable period. . . . Every student who feels an interest in the 

 loftiest themes that can engage the human intellect, should make it his duty to 

 read tliis book ; and at the same time, those who are utterly unversed in science 

 cannot peruse it without reaping from it both profit and dehght." — The Morning 

 Star. 



" The wi'iter has given much that is really interesting and sound. The conclud- 

 ing cliapters on the angelic natm-e, whether of glorified or faUen spirits, and the 

 analogy between the angels of God and glorified saints, are at once beautiful and 

 instructive." — The English Churchviian. 



" The book ought to excite attention, and we doubt not that in the end it will _ 

 do so, aUliough time may be reqviired to bring anything so soHd, scientific, and 

 recondite before a thoughtless generation. — The Bntish Standard.
