Excerpt from The Immortality of Animals and the Relation of Man, as Guardian, From a Biblical, and Philosophical Hypothesis
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 accomplish, 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 authorities in my possession for reference when required.
The plan is to show that God, creating the entire 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.
