Volume 1 of 2. Foundations. This work elucidates the science and philosophy of the divine mysteries. A complete epitome and analysis of cosmological science embodied in the ancient wisdom. The author takes the student back to the normal, unfallen, and pure states and conditions of the terrestrial formation and constitution, which pre-existed eternally, until the fall; which event he defines as a scientific and purely physical fact, so far as the Earth's structure is concerned.
