Excerpt from The Rivers of Paradise and Children of Shem: With a Copious Appendix
I will not presume to disturb any of the many suppositions respecting the site of the Garden of Eden, far less to pronounce whether it was indeed a garden, or the whole creation, when man was in the image of his Maker, pure and undefiled - when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy: but I feel myself more at liberty to speak of the localities of the rivers of Paradise, as something has been revealed to us respecting them; and we shall find, that the regions represented by the rivers which I shall name, were the scenes of such important events, as to give them in Sacred History a very prominent distinction.
